BALDWIN, WI – Besides attending a wonderful, marvelous, fantastic production of the B-W High School’s musical “The Little Mermaid” at the Baldwin-Woodville High School, attendees had the chance to view something special. On display in the Commons for viewing prior to or during Intermission or after the play, were the creative efforts of B-W Art Students (K-12) and floral designers from the garden club and community. And then people were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite one.

In December of 2024, the floral designers selected their piece of art. There were so many wonderful student art projects to choose from and the decision was difficult.

Fourteen floral designers then went to work deciding how to interpret their selection. What flowers to use? How to present it? Their efforts resulted in a delightful display that was enjoyed by many. Viewers cast their ballot for a Peoples’ Choice Award which this year went to Michaela Oberg’s pastel bumblebee interpreted by Debby Walters. Check out all of the designs on the Botany Belles and Beaus Facebook page.

The Botany Belles and Beaus Garden Club extends its thanks to the B-W Art Department and the High School Musical team for giving us the opportunity to showcase young artists and floral design. If you would like to challenge your design skills, let a garden club member know that you would like to be involved next year.
