Our Garden Club’s 21 st Annual Art and Bloom event at Kimball Jenkins Estate January 25 - 27, 2024 was a beautiful success, thanks to our designers, volunteers, and sponsors. Visitors enjoyed 25 creative floral interpretations of photographs and other art pieces currently ondisplay at Kimball Jenkins as part of their “Postman and Rockstar” exhibit. Members of the Concord Garden Club and of the greater Concord community, as well as several local professional designers all stepped up to the plate as designers for the show.

We congratulate the winners of our informal People’s Choice ballot. Lauren Savage of the Concord Garden Club was the overall favorite for her arrangement complementing “Alice’s
White Rabbit” from the Kimball Jenkins collection. Community members Stephanie Krenn and Terry Sturke won for their imaginative interpretation of a diptych of pregnant mother and of her newborn by Michelle Phillips. Rick Talbot of Cobblestone Design won among professionals for his design for “Roaring Integer” by WenDell Hoggard.

We would like to thank the Kimball Jenkins Estate, as well as our sponsors, Dennehy and Bouley, LLC, Ruedig Realty, Cobblestone Design, Hermanos Cocina, Kim Benoit of the Masiello Group, Susanne Smith-Meyer, Landscape Architect, The Works Café, Gibson’s Bookstore, and Polaris Direct, for making this event possible.

Thanks to all,
Millie LaFontaine, Chair of Art and Bloom 2024.
