First-time exhibitor Victoria Manley Thompson of Olive+Grace Stems along with flower show stalwarts Agnes Kang and Patty Reed are part of the Bouquets to Art exhibit this year at the deYoung museum in San Francisco. The annual event invites floral designers from all over the Bay Area to pair a floral arrangement with an artwork for a four-day only exhibit at both the deYoung and Legion of Honor Museums.
