Autumn is a wistful time, for we Michiganders know that winter is just around the corner, so what better time for a last gasp of garden season? Lisa Waud is the creator of Flower House and the owner of Pot & Box floral design. She teamed up with event designer Haley Lertola of Detroit Cultivated to present Detroit Flower Week, which brought together internationally acclaimed floral designers and flower farmers for a week of presentations and workshops at the Jam Handy Building, an eye-popping installation at the main branch of the Detroit Public Library, and opportunities for learning and floral enjoyment.
