Bess Treadwell was presented with the Crystal Award from the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs for her floral design “ Hats off for the Army.”
The inspiration for Treadwell’s design was her husband’s 30 years in the U.S. Army and serves as a tribute to him. The design featured an Army infantry officer’s hat, a West Point cadet hat and the maroon beret worn by Army paratroopers. Each hat was worn by Treadwell’s husband.
The design is featured inside cover of the Florida Federation of Garden Club’s 2015 Calendar.
Christy Linke also won the Table Artistry Award at the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs’ State Convention, in St. Petersburg.
The club won the Flower Show Award for “The Pirates Adventures.”
