SUMMARY:From the Woods and Gardens of Arkansas: A Conversation and Demonstration with Shane Connolly
DESCRIPTION:Famed floral designer Shane Connolly has designed events in countries across the world\, and always with the same aim: to leave the smallest footprint behind and be led by what is local and available. Learn more about his unique approach to sustainable floristry during this exciting on-stage conversation and live floral design demonstration. \n\n\n\nUsing seasonal flowers and foliage from local woods and gardens\, Connolly will bring his inimitable flair to an arrangement inspired by the natural beauty of Arkansas – showcasing his deep respect for nature\, season\, and setting. \n\n\n\nStart your day at AMFA with a complimentary breakfast in the Atrium before the event\, then make a lunch reservation at Park Grill to enjoy a meal full of seasonal flavors and local produce. \n\n\n\nThis programming is provided in partnership with P. Allen Smith’s Moss Mountain Farm and the Little Rock Garden Club. \n\n\n\nAbout Shane Connolly\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConnolly is a renowned floral designer and ambassador for sustainable floristry.
