The program will be a floral demonstration by New York City–based designer Lisa Oberholzer-Gee (http://lgeefloral.weebly.com/). With a Longwood Garden floral-design certificate in hand, Oberholzer-Gee started a business in Cambridge MA, creating designs for events, weddings, and private functions. She was selected by Macy's to make a display for the Macy Flower Show in Boston, and she created West Wing displays for Art in Bloom.
Intrigued with floral-design techniques from Europe and Asia, Oberholzer-Gee has incorporated them into her floral art. She has been instructed by Gregor Lersch of Germany and has traveled to Belgium and Thailand to explore floral techniques. This past fall, she began studying at the Pratt Design Institute.
