A Terrific Day at Our Culinary Open House

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to showcase my culinary kitchen and introduce three fantastic new guests and vendors to the garden club and community. Everyone who attended, admired this blue-inspired tablescape from our designer J.R. His unique collection of English garden roses, fruit, and vegetables in his flower demonstration were breathtaking. Many thanks to Temecula Olive Oil Company for coming out for a unique tasting experience, Suzie’s Farm for their bountiful vegetable C.S.A. box, Edible for their generosity for supplying their magazine, and Wendy Woolf for her informative presentation on the benefits of having a C.S.A. box.

Here we are at the beginning of the presentation with, our floral designer J.R., the President of the Garden Club, Helen Dizio, and myself.

The garden display from J.R. Designs with his private collection of nature-inspired china, blue and white containers, and an antique three tiered rose arrangement.
