Artist Blog: Moda Botanica (3/11/10)

Moda Bontanica is a collaborative business ran a small group of entrepreneurs. With backgrounds in floral, horticulture and event planning, the company provides highly designed floral arrangements. Although their work is typically shown at weddings, family events and corporate functions, they also compete in shows and competitions to display their craft. The business is located in the center of Philadelphia.

I found this company after researching several creative blogs who admire their prestigious craft. I've always respected the design element of floral and bouquet construction. It is a small art form in comparison to the large scale craftsmanship of gardens and landscaping.

What caught my attention with Moda Botanica was their participation in the Philadelphia International Flower Show. The shop won best in show for their garden display. From the photographs, it seems that each contestant was given trucking containers (I'm not quite sure of the terminology for this). The containers were externally decorated with graffiti and spray paint. This is the finished product once Moda Botanica set up their display:
