This is the final year the American Institute of Floral Designers North Central Chapter and Bob Friese AIFD will be hosting the ever amazing and intriguing Nature’s Creative Edge.

This one of kind event that has captivated the world and our industry for the past 10 years found its start and roots in the form of a master floral design class taught and started by Hitomi Gilliam AIFD and Bob Friese AIFD, two paragon’s of floral design and education.

Since 2006 when the first class was held, Nature’s Creative Edge has shaped from a master design class to a renowned floral showcase being one of the only public floral design displays hosted naturally throughout the woods of northwest Michigan and 100% run by volunteering designers and helpers.

With over forty five designers from around the USA making their way to this wondrous event you can only imagine the great works of floral art you will find this year. With “Invention” as this years theme, the designers are walking into a blind surprise design not knowing the space or materials they will be working with, creating a true night of invention in the breathtaking woods of Michigan!
