The Black Mountain Center for the Arts just held its big fundraising event. It started with a reception with goodies to eat, and a display of gorgeous floral arrangements that mimicked the theme of an art work (only a couple were sculptures).
The whole 3 day event is called Art in Bloom. First a Thurs. evening preview party and viewing of the floral arrangements and art. Tickets for the preview party were $45.
Then beginning 10-2 on Fri. and Sat. are the garden tours. Each year different gardens are selected, and they are usually very impressive. This year's definitely were. The tickets for the tour were $30.
Following the garden tours we were invited to also see the Floral Arrangements in the gallery, or pay $5 if one hadn't purchased the garden tour tickets. A package of the preview party and garden tours was $60.
It all supports the arts in Black Mountain.
This was the first year I went on the garden tours. In years past I've been a docent at one garden, and enjoyed greeting those who had tickets for the tours. See my other blog for each of the 6 garden tours, starting HERE.
As part of my ticket included seeing the floral arrangements in the gallery, I went today to see them. If there had been a room full of people, it would not have been as good as it was, with only a half dozen today. Though I expected some of the flowers to have wilted, I didn't notice a single one with droops.
I'll leave you for today with that...and the last is my favorite so far. More tomorrow!
Beautiful floral arrangement, the art work is pretty too. Take care, enjoy your day and happy new week ahead.
