Barbara Campbell represented the Parkland Garden Club on Labor Day doing a design program on Centennial Stage at The Great Allentown Fair entitled \u201cDesigns Through the Seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her designs were intended to encourage the audience to go home and try the design.<\/p>\n
She went through the steps of making a design.<\/p>\n
First is the choice of the container then the medium you are going to use, oasis, chicken wire, or water to place flowers.<\/p>\n
Oasis is the most commonly used medium in flower arranging.<\/p>\n
The first design she demonstrated was a Winter centerpiece that could be used as a centerpiece on a Christmas table.<\/p>\n
The Spring design was a topiary design using yellow flowers because spring\u2019s flowers are predominately yellow.<\/p>\n
The Summer design was a line design using gladiolus. The medium used was chicken wire.<\/p>\n
The advantage of using chicken wire is that if you want to take a flower out it is easier to change your mind where you want to place it.<\/p>\n
Autumn was a POT-ET-FLEUR which is a creative design using flowering plants or a combination.<\/p>\n
They may include cut foliage, branches with or without leaves, and cut or fresh or dried flowers. Cut plants are always included.<\/p>\n
In recognizing the Semisquincentennial Campbell created a red, white, and blue design featuring a red pickup truck.<\/p>\n
She entered this design into the Fair under artistic arrangements, \u201cThe Great American Road Trip.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another patriotic design was a Roundy Moundy which had red carnations as your mass flower, white roses as your filler flowers, and blue larkspar.<\/p>\n
This was Campbell\u2019s third year doing a program at the Allentown Fair in which she promoted the Parkland Garden Club.<\/p>\n
