For 16 years he owned Taylor’s of Sonoma, where he created flowers for the Disney family, among other local celebrities. Taylor has taught floral design at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada, as well as through classes in Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Japan. His work has appeared in shelter magazines and floral trade publications, including Flowers&, Florists’ Review Magazine, and Floriology.
For his lecture demonstration, Bill Taylor will create and show floral designs complete with ideas for your table and your house, loaded with fun and creativity for your next party or holiday or event.
His shows are not to be missed. He will WOW you!
Flower arrangements will be made in front of your eyes and raffled off-this is not to be missed!
You will then join a docent and tour the galleries learning inside details about the art and arrangements at Flora.
Come early and stay late-take in the expansive collection and the wonders of Flora.
