2025 New Mexico Dahlia Festival Floral Design

Floral Designs are sculptures that are both art and craft. They are a visual experience that at its best move a person. These offerings are of that caliber. I can only speak as an observer, but it is clear these creations are the result of years of learning and practice.

The Albuquerque Garden Center has classes in Floral Design for those interested in learning this art.
