Vision 2020, Civic Pride Committee, in cooperation with Otto & Sons Nursery, presented a free workshop for the public on Saturday, March 28, at Otto & Sons Nursery on Guiberson Road. The certified judges that judge our Fillmore Flower Show and manage the judging at the Ventura County Fair were with us to answer questions and demonstrate bouquets and arrangements being made “before our eyes” with their dialogue of grooming tips and suggestions for preparations. Barbara Schneider and Susan Diller gave us humorous and practical ideas for selecting vases, containers and types of plant materials that they use in their competitions.

After their demonstration, those present were invited to make their own creations using oasis and gorgeous roses by the “bucket full”, along with “filler” greenery.

People present, from Solvang, Santa Clara, Santa Paula and Fillmore enjoyed lemonade and homemade muffins while having one on one conversations with the judges.
