The Hopkinton Garden Club’s April presentation will be “Say It with Flowers … Springtime,” a video program hosted by floral designer Thelma Shoneman and featuring five floral designs of varying design types. Forced spring flowering branches are used in most designs, and a variety of techniques and leaf manipulations are demonstrated. Flower meanings add to the story told by each design. The presentation will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m.

Thelma Shoneman is a Master Level Nationally Accredited Flower Show Judge, an instructor in the Sogetsu School of Ikebana International and an active member of the Actor Garden Club for over 20 years. She has exhibited in the Ikebana Division of the Boston Flower Show, Tower Hill Ikebana shows, the Museum of Fine Arts, Art In Bloom shows and the Worcester Art Museum Flora in Winter shows. She retired in 2007 from owning her own flower shop, Colony Florist in Concord, and enjoys presenting floral design programs throughout New England.
