Taking to the stage this Sunday morning at 10:30 at the SF Landscape Garden Show!


No, this isn't a store bought bouquet. This is straight from my garden. The tender, bronzy olive green of the leaves is as amazing as the flowers.

How to Make Store-Bought Bouquets Look Great
In this 101 Basics-style demonstration, Maryann Nardo will share her secrets for making store-bought floral bunches look better, more composed, yet natural. She will discuss where supermarket bouquets come from and the local vs. imports sourcing question. Learn how to incorporate botanicals and plants from the garden; choose the best container; design composition tips; and how to care for your arrangement.


It's an honor to be on the schedule along with many top floral designers who continue to inspire me. And a big shout out to Debra Prinzing who put this amazing group of people together. Debra is an author, organizer,and spokesperson who is helping to spearhead the "Slow Flower Movement" to bring flower growing back to this country. She seems to know everyone-everyone and has a great, warm spirit. She's raised the bar for this yearly institution because everything she touches turns out first rate and San Francisco deserves an incredible garden show. There is so much talent here and come on- it's San Francsico (now if only they would raise the bar on their food offerings.... ah well, one mountain at a time, I guess).
