Garden People: Emily Avenson, Flueropean

We welcome Emily Avenson of Fleuropean to the show!  Originally from California, Emily grew into her role as a floral artist and instructor after her move to Belgium, where she lives and works today.  Her arrangements are always exciting, with movement and use of color.  She grows all the flowers used in her on-site classes and online workshop, and the delight she takes in the growing process is visible in each stem. Enjoy!
