2022 American Peony Society Artistic Design EntriesInside the University of Michigan's Matthaei Botanical Garden's Auditorium, I think the Artistic Design entries got the best spot in the show, a beautiful spot right next to a wall of windows overlooking an outdoor patio surrounded by lush greenery! I should have taken a photo of the gorgeous peony arrangements from both ends of the Artistic Design table. In this shot, I got up close angles of the professional division, also known as the "Open Classes", Classes 6-11 this year.

The novice design classes where Classes 2-5 this year, with several first time entrants participating in the artistic design portion of the show. All of the designs in the show were so beautiful. I would take any of them home with me. If you've never tried your hand at entering the APS flower show, the artistic design category might be an easy way to get started! There was even a children's class this year, Class 1, open to people 16 or younger, which had good participation! I can't wait to try my design skills again at next year's APS Convention Exhibition!
