The Sun Lakes Garden Club members will enjoy a floral arranging demonstration by Leona Hess at the Tuesday, July 16 meeting. Leona has been in the floral industry for 16 years as well as her career as a kitchen and bath designer. She will demonstrate the basics of floral design, proper vases, color and proportion and answer questions. The floral arrangements will then be donated to the club raffle!
