At the Andover Garden Club’s May 5 meeting, flower designer Gail Hubacker will create several floral arrangements—some incorporating found objects—assisted by fellow garden-club member, Diane Cochran. At the conclusion of the demonstration, arrangements will be auctioned off.
About the Presenter
Always enamored with flowers, Gail Hubacker began her career in flower arranging when she joined The Needham Garden Club in 1978. Among other positions in the club, she served as Flower Arranging Chair and President.
To further her design skills, she pursued the Flower Show School offered by the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts (GCFM), thereafter proceeding through the ranks until becoming a Master Judge. Throughout the ensuing years, she has both entered and judged shows and enhanced her learning by participating in symposia. She worked on, and chaired, the Boston Flower Show when it was held at Commonwealth Pier and Bayside Expo Center.
After moving to The Cape in 2010, she joined the Garden Club of Hyannis and assumed some of the same roles she had held in the Needham Garden Club. She has represented both clubs at the Museum of Fine Arts Art In Bloom. She currently serves on the GCFM Board as Flower Show Awards Chair. She is a member of the Southeastern District Design and Horticulture Study Group.
