The Art and Soul of Flowers

On Tuesday, October 1, at South Church (41 Central Street, Andover) the Andover Garden Club will kick off its new year with a demonstration by floral-designer Andrea Little. The event will begin at 10:00 AM with social time and refreshments, followed by a brief business meeting and the floral-arranging demonstration.

Art is described in part as the making or doing of things that display form, beauty, and unusual perception. When the natural beauty of flowers, foliage and other elements of design are combined, art takes on a new image and excites the mind and soul, creating an emotional warmth of the senses and stimulating creativity in mind and heart. “Art” and “soul” will be the driving forces behind the arrangements presented by floral designer Andrea Little.

Little is an award-winning floral designer, master judge, and presenter of design workshops and programs. Active in the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts, she is a member of the Westborough and Curbs & Cobblestones Garden Clubs.

A $10 donation is requested for guests (includes refreshments).
