Polycarp Flowers: A Book in Bloom
PHS SILVER MEDAL
Gleanings:
The din of distractions keeps us separated from the natural wonders of each day. Getting lostin a good story surrounded by an enchanted garden reconnects us to the synthesis of florals and words that electrifies our senses.
3 years in the show
Polycarp Flowers was formed in the summer of 2016 with a desire to artistically bring the outdoors indoors. Today, Polycarp Flowers is a small and mighty team of creative floral designers, and we love what we do. We each have our strengths, and we bring them together and collaborate to make unforgettable florals. We are passionate about our work and our clients benefit from the exceptional attention to detail and creativity that goes into each one of our projects. We want to create works that transport you to a happier place. We believe in the power of nature and design. We are constantly engaged in projects that challenge us to think outside the norm. We are functional, OCD-enhanced creatives. Trust us; that's a good thing.
Overall Concept: A GARDEN OF WORDS, A STORY IN FLOWERS: Our exhibit features a large scale (25 foot by 40 foot) open book with florals (fresh, potted and paper) of various sizes and scales bursting out of the pages. It will showcase the immersive and inspirational nature shared by gardens and books, flowers and stories.
Aspects of show theme in your exhibit: Sparks of joy, creativity and excitement
Other Points of interest: Currently, we plan to incorporate a scavenger hunt to engage flower show visitors (particularly younger visitors), challenging them to find story-related items hidden inside the book's garden. We are still in the process of finding collaborators (local library or bookstore, for example).
