RENE VAN REMS PRESENTATION
San Dieguito Garden Club of Encinitas invited Marianne Huntley to their March 2 Floral Design program and she quickly snapped up the last seats available. The program featured Rene van Rems, Dutch-born designer, and was held at the San Diego Botanic Garden, formerly Quail Gardens. Members of 8 garden clubs packed Ecke Auditorium to watch Rene and his skillful assistants create an amazing collection of designs from small hand bouquets "currently trendy in Europe", to outsized arrangements with large flowering branches.
