EASTER MONDAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Ardith, Al Roker

Ardith Beveridge was invited again to design for The Annual Easter Egg Roll at The White House in Washington DC.

 

BE HEALTHY, BE ACTIVE, BE YOU – 135 Years of Fun

On April 1, the First Family hosted the 135th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. This year, more than 30,000 people from all 50 states joined us on the South Lawn for games, stories, and, of course, the traditional egg roll.
In addition to all the fun and games, the day’s activities — which included sports courts and cooking demonstrations — helped educate families on smart ways to incorporate healthy eating and exercise choices into their daily routines, which are key pillars of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative. source: http://www.whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll

One part design show, one part competition!

This year’s theme is Ship in a Bottle… Building a ship in a bottle is an art that has been practiced and perfected for centuries. Like all impossible bottle tricks, the ship in a bottle looks impossible only to those who do not know the secret.
For this design competition, you are asked to design inside a container of your choice. Like a ship in a bottle, flowers inside a vase are art that looks impossible if you do not know the secret. Use your knowledge of flowers, design techniques and mechanics to amaze us with your flowers inside a container. More>>>

Emerald Makes Green Flowers Tops in 2013

Beveridge-Emerald-300x280
by Ardith Beveridge – source: Flower Factor a lifestyle blog from www.aboutflowers.com

Tangerine Tango was our favorite color of 2012. This strong orange hue was a big hit; and there are so many lovely flowers in orange.  Wouldn’t you know it, 2013 is seeing green. That’s right, the Pantone Color for 2013 is EMERALD. While trendy flower lovers in 2012 rejoiced for orange, the good news continues this year because there are lots of lovely flowers in tints, tones and shades of green.

Bells of Ireland are stately. The striking flower forms a powerful visual line in floral designs. The ‘Green Trick’ dianthus is a fascinating mass flower. This carnation looks like a big green puffball. Green roses, dendrobium, hydrangea and gladioli to name a few are available year round and are lovely in any design. Read more>>>
