Inspired by the revitalization of Akron, the show exhibited outstanding horticulture, conservation, photography and floral interpretations of fine art.
Highlights included 20 highly artistic floral designs inspired by works on exhibition at the museum, arrayed throughout the galleries. There also were 12 entries of jewelry and other embellished items made entirely from dried botanical material.
