Oxford Garden Club held a members-only flower show, titled “Fun with Flowers – Tablescapes and Cake Decorating” for their October meeting at the Oxford Community Center. After months of social distancing and Zoom meetings, it was a fun and educational way to gather again.
Each entry had to include an arrangement consisting of fresh or dried flowers as required in the schedule. No artificial plant material was allowed.
Classes included.: Decorating Cakes, using a round cake-shaped oasis form which was to be covered with all fresh plant material, two classes of Tablescapes – Mardi Gras and Baby Shower, and two classes of Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement using the concept of minimalism.
Sue Betz won Best in Show and first in the Baby Shower Tablescape for four class, LuAnn Madary was the winner in the Mardi Gras Tablescape for four class, Susie Middleton won best in the Decorated Cake class, Ingrid Blanton won Ikebana-Color, and Phyllis Rambo won in Ikebana-Line.
Following the show, members were treated to Halloween themed delights.
