FALL FLORAL SHOWCASE 2011

Bellingrath Gardens and Home is pleased to bring Benny Campbell, floral designer extraordinaire, to Mobile on October 19, 2011 to share secrets for creating arrangements in his signature style that is both airy and lush. Using an eclectic array of material and containers, Benny will instruct, inspire, and entertain you with his imaginative ideas for enhancing your fall and holiday tables and home. Benny was a featured seminar speaker on floral design at the 1999 Festival of Flowers and thrilled the capacity audience with his phenomenal talent and ebullient personality. He calls his arrangements "free-flow style with a southern influence."
