12:00 noon
“In the Georgian Manner”
Georgian Period Design from 1714-1820

Speaker:  Jennifer Boyenga, accredited National Garden Club (NGC) judge, and  Virginia Federated Garden Club Symposium Chairman. Jennifer will illustrate the influence of art and architecture on floral design with the “Three Georges”, beginning with King George I of Germany through King George III of England.  The Georgian Period followed the Renaissance Design Period of 1400-1600s.  She will help us understand the influence of Europe and Asia in the progression of floral design from the Georgian Period and its influence on Colonial American Design.  Her designs will be offered to members through opportunity tickets.
