Use Longwood’s famous fountains—from our Main Fountain Garden to our Italian Water Garden to our Open Air Theatre—as inspiration for an elegant floral design sure to dazzle.
Taking cues from the colors and movement of water, as well as the architecture of the formal gardens, create a sensational design that emulates these features. Explore the elements of line, form, and color, as well as the principles of rhythm, balance, and proportion.
