2015 Symposium: Williamsburg

November 11, 2022

Symposium Chairman Terry Buntrock reported a successful Garden Club of Virginia Symposium 2015 in Williamsburg with 315 attendees, 37 committee members representing every district and 403 room nights booked at the Williamsburg Lodge.
She and her co-chairman, Misti Spong, “began with the mission of the Garden Club of Virginia and developed programming that honored, illuminated and taught that mission.” She continued, “We also celebrated our Commonwealth through partnerships with Scenic Virginia and the Virginia fashion design industry. We celebrated our state with farm-to‐table menus that featured local growers, Virginia‐inspired shopping experiences, excursions and courses.”

Terry reported that the Symposium’s grand finale, “Snipped: Iron Man Flower Arranging Competition,” had received positive reviews from attendees and from the Colonial Williamsburg staff, adding that the friendly competitors — Michael Grim, James Farmer and Sybil Sylvester — had shared their experience through social media.

She closed by saying that Colonial Williamsburg expressed hope that the Garden Club of Virginia would return.
