The monthly meeting of the Marion Garden Group will be held on Tuesday, November 7 at 9:00 am in St. Gabriel’s Parish Hall. The program features “Ruth Loiseau: From the White House to Your House.” Back by popular demand, the former White House floral designer will entertain with stories from six presidential administrations as she demonstrates the art of flower arranging.
From the Bushes to the Clintons, Obamas, Trump and Biden presidencies, imagine the diversity of state dinners, luncheons, holiday parties and special events requiring fresh flowers that one plans for every day at the White House. Ms. Loiseau’s anecdotes and demonstrations are highlighted by a wonderful slide show from her years in D.C.
This fascinating program runs for an hour and a half as Ruth designs seven fresh arrangements which will be auctioned off at the end of the meeting. One need not be a member of MGG to attend. There is a guest fee of $10. St. Gabriel’s Parish Hall is located at the corner of Front and South Streets in Marion.
