2024 Flower Fun Shows, Events and Extraordinary Places to Visit

Spread the love

By David Coake

USA PUBLIC FLOWER EVENTS

Fleurs de Villes

Many dates throughout the year

Many locations throughout the world 

Fleurs de Villes, led by Tina Barkley and Karen Marshall, is catnip to the flower-loving public and in the past four years has created 100 shows all around the globe. They have gathered the best florists in the local destinations to create these massive installations that are treasure maps around a theme.

Creating any of these installations requires days of work. Each flower is attached to a tube and delicately put into the mannequin so it lasts for 10 days. Manipulating shapes and considering colors as well as creating movement is all part of these talented florists’ challenge. Thousands of blooms are used for these creations to bring joy, merriment, and awe to the public.

Upcoming shows include Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh May. 31-June 9, Calgary-Stampede July 5-15, August 9-18, Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, October 4-13, NYC Hudson Yards, December 6-15, Seattle, Washington

ART MUSEUM FLOWER DESIGN EVENTS

The “Art in Bloom” series has floral artists interpret existing paintings with branches and blooms instead of paint. Matched together, they are eye-popping, smile-inducing, inspiring pieces that are prototypes of what people can also do in their own homes. After all, why buy a piece of art and not have a matching floral arrangement? Both enhance and elevate the visual effect.

Across the country, there are now many, some with different names, but same concept. These mainly happen in March
