This year, 15 floral designs and other works of art will be on display in the Edison Caretaker’s House, an original “Cracker House” and one of the oldest standing structures in Lee County. Prior to the show, participating Garden Council members are paired with a piece of artwork and create a floral display based on their interpretation of the art —using the same colors and design feel.
