Blooming Art is our Club's Biggest Fundraiser of the Year...and we need YOU to make it a success! They say it takes a Village to raise a Child, well, we say it takes a Vineyard to make our Fundraiser a success!
Last year was a turning point for Blooming Art. Not only was it very successful financially due to the beautiful art and floral designs, but the people who worked on it had fun! Lots of partnering, communication and camaraderie at The Old Mill, the MV Garden Club's 'Summer Home'.
Several new members participated last year, and most of us learned something about floral design. This year our goal is to involve even more members - no expertise or experience required!
Committees coordinate the planning, and 40 members are recruited to make floral arrangements, so it’s a Club-wide endeavor of which we’re very proud. The first committees to start planning then heat up as the event comes closer.

Some volunteer opportunities for Blooming Art 2023 are:
Artist selection and coordination – this committee invites the artists, receives their forms and art photos, verifies documentation about the art for the program, and arranges drop-off and pick-up.
Floral designer recruitment and training – this committee enlists volunteer designers, arranges discounts with the nurseries, coordinates training and assistance, and schedules floral drop- offs.
The above two committees work together at the “match meeting” in May to assign designers to artists – a very fun day!
