Rooms of Blooms
The First Annual Greater Fox Valley Floral Show
Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays
March 2010

Celebrating the art of floral design within the ornate rooms of the historic Paine mansion, “Rooms of Blooms” is the First Annual Greater Fox Valley Floral Show featuring over one hundred artistic fresh flower arrangements by twenty designers from the region.

The beautiful floral creations are inspired by favorite artworks in the Paine’s collection and the exquisite décor of the mansion. See the historic interiors bursting with bouquets that are artworks themselves and enjoy the amazing splendor and spectrum of fresh flowers.

“Rooms of Blooms” also features six elaborately designed table settings by area designers similar to those seen in popular magazines like Martha Stewart Living, Oprah Magazine, and Town & Country. Wander each table setting, marvel at the ingenuity and creativity, and vote for your favorite.

The Paine is pleased to offer a special series of adult educational programs about floral design and gardening nearly every Friday and Saturday in March at 1:00 and 3:00 pm. A complete schedule is listed below. Programs are offered on a first come, first serve basis and space is limited. No pre-registration is required.
