This spring, Bouquets to Art blooms beyond the galleries with two special live floral design programs, inviting audiences to experience the artistry, storytelling, and innovation behind the floral creations that transform the museums each year.


Held in the Koret Auditorium at the de Young, these ticketed programs offer a rare opportunity to hear directly from leading floral and garden creatives through live demonstrations, thoughtful conversation, and behind-the-scenes insights.


🗓 Tuesday, March 3 & Friday, March 6

⏰ 2:00 PM

📍 Koret Auditorium, de Young

🎟 Program Ticket: $55 (Includes live program + same-day access to Bouquets to Art at both museums)

 Program One

Artful Opulence in Event Design

Tuesday, March 3 | 2:00 PM

with Kiana Underwood, Tulipina


Step into the world of Tulipina, where exuberant color, bold form, and emotional storytelling define every design.


In this visually rich presentation, Kiana Underwood shares her approach to creating large-scale floral installations inspired by fine art, architecture, and place. Drawing from experiences spanning European villas to modern architectural settings, Kiana explores how florals can evoke feeling, movement, and a deeply human connection.


Audiences will gain insight into how inspiration becomes immersive floral art, hallmarks of Tulipina’s celebrated aesthetic.


Program Two

Bloom Where You're Rooted

Friday, March 6 | 2:00 PM

with Gina Lett-Shrewsberry & Teresa J. Speight


This engaging conversation brings together two influential voices in floral and garden culture to explore sustainability, storytelling, and thoughtful design.


Gina Lett-Shrewsberry, founder of Gina Floral and Event Design, is a nationally recognized floral designer whose work has been featured in Black Flora, The Washington Post, Munaluchi Bridal, and beyond. A frequent speaker and podcast guest, Gina is also an advocate for sustainable floral practices and was recently honored by Florist Review’s inaugural “40 Over 40.”


Joining her is Teresa J. Speight, author of Floriculture’s New Vanguard and co-author of The Urban Garden. Teresa is a respected educator, podcast host, and founder of the Jabali Amani Garden Collective, where she champions community-based gardening, environmental stewardship, and inclusive horticultural spaces.


Together, Gina and Teresa will discuss how sustainability, creativity, and cultural connection shape the future of floral and garden design.
