Entrance Garden

This one needs images:

Notes from Sam's February 4 presentation:

• Entrance garden will consist entirely of cut flowers -- except for a little turf and moss
• Hanging flower meadow -- 20 ft wide x 60 feet deep -- grasses, flowers, and butterflies, 18,000 stems
  
• Big pop artist flowers inspired by the screened art of Roy Lichtenstein. Bases are painted metal mesh; dried flowers (Valley Forge) create highlights and shadows
• There will be 16' x 9' screens that will run a loop of highlights FTD designers in action and the judging plus other visuals (static or moving) -- screens will not be blank 

FTD entries will be in the 23 pods in the seven circular areas in the entrance garden (see diagram above)

• Competitions by the FTD entrants will be on Friday, Saturday, Sunday -- see https://theflowershow.com/experiences/ftd-world-cup-2019/ftd-competitors-schedule/  for competitors and schedule
• The entries will be refreshed by FTD staff throughout the show.
• This is the first U.S. World Cup since 1985; the competition only takes place once every several years
