Floral Design Group

Teaching Floral Design has been part of RGC since the founding days in the 1920s.

Though many gaze at a bouquet and simply see a collection of lovely flowers, certain aspects of the arrangement tell knowledgeable eyes a story.

In addition to designs to enliven the home, floral design can be an art of expression. Raleigh Garden Club members have frequently shared their skills at Art in Bloom, held annually at the NC Museum of Art.
