(Press Release) For the third year, Petals & Stems Florist in North Dallas has brought together six local business executives from different spheres of influence in the Metroplex to create amateur floral arrangements for charity. The guest designers gathered August 21st to assemble their creations with little coaching from the professional designers standing by. During the taping, contestants had the opportunity to explain what type of design they were making and for what charity they are working. Contestants had 100 varieties of flowers to work with. Their efforts were timed and videoed and now YOU can vote for your favorite!
This year’s participants and their charities are:
Kitty Goddard, Founding Board Member of Arts Incubator of Richardson, representing AIR
Michael Gonzales, President of Armstrong Relocation, representing Limbs For Life

Their work has been posted on the internet for viewer voting.
