"Choose flowers you like; put some love into the preparation and have fun!" - Canaan Marshall

Enter the colorful and creative world of two dynamic floral designers—Ace Berry and Canaan Marshall. Ace Berry—owner and lead designer of Ace in Full Bloom and Fulshear Floral Design in Houston, Texas—believes in the transformative power of flowers and his unique designs are characterized by their vibrant energy and meticulous attention to detail. Canaan Marshall—owner of Canaan Marshall Designs based in Georgia—is known to make the extraordinary appear simple, yet always with a fabulous, fun flair. He's an old soul who's had a natural knack for all things growing and green since childhood.

Both designers have created exquisite table designs at NYBG's Annual Orchid Dinner and have appeared on HBO's Full Bloom series. Now, together at NYBG, join them in Ross Hall for a friendly floral competition!

Ace and Canaan will work with the same assortment of flowers, foliage, and containers provided to craft 1-2 arrangements at the same time on stage. Step-by-step, you'll watch as they bring their creations to life, weaving their personal style into each design. As they share their personalities and creativity, as well as tips and tricks of the trade, you'll be inspired to try something new and add your own unique flair into your everyday life.

In the afternoon, Ace and Canaan will host a special floral design master class. Limited space available. Separate registration is required for this class; please visit this page for more information.
