The Ninth Moon Floral Design Showcase is a juried floral show with each entry including chrysanthemums as a part of the display. Designers will use floral design styles and forms that utilize fresh floral materials and foliage in their entry. The exhibition is designed to celebrate the beauty and significance of chrysanthemums and recognize the floral art and creative talent of floral designers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
The Ninth Moon Floral Design Showcase Premiere Evening will give you the opportunity to be one of the first to view the fabulous floral exhibits, created by premier floral designers and staged within the magical beauty of Lan Su Chinese Garden. These stunning designs will capture the charm of the chrysanthemum and captivate you. See a live floral design demonstrations, listen to live music, sip sparkling wine, enjoy decadent desserts and savory bites, meet the participating floral designers and be the first to vote for your favorite chrysanthemum creation!
