Back in March, Tomasi Boselawa of Tiare Floral Design asked me to present Pea Patch Gardens to the Pierce County Garden Club. Mr. Boselawa gave an informative demonstration of his floral arranging techniques and after, I took the opportunity to address the Garden Club. As seasoned gardeners, many of the ladies were very well versed in organic and heirloom vegetable gardening. But, I felt an amazing surge of support for working to bring back the knowledge of our food source to the next generation. Thank you to the ladies of the Pierce County Garden Club for the great conversation and encouragement. And, thank you to Mr. Boselawa for the gorgeous flowers. I look forward to our next presentation together.
Mr. Boselawai a Fijian artist living here in the Pacific Northwest. His unique perspective on floral design is informed by his Fijian culture.
