Flower Club: Bloom Battle '23 Celebrity Surprise

Tags: Flower Club, At LoCoFlo

We had a surprise visitor at the 2023 Bloom Battle public display and judging event - flower OG Dave Dowling! Dave has done it all in the floral world including farming, designing, vending, teaching and national leadership as the ASCFG President. He can now add Bloom Battle judge to his resume. Not originally slated to the celebrity panel, we put his expertise to work when he showed up unexpectedly. Dave joined former contestants Jen Majewski, Ian Tresselt and Chris Vaeth to place these arrangements in Bloom Battle renown.

For the second straight year the people and the judges agreed. Amanda won the People's Choice and 1st prize.

Danielle, a former 1st place winner, picked up 2nd.

Jo, also a former 1st place winner, took 3rd this year.

This photogenic beauty by Adrienne won the Instagram Famous voting.
