The presentation will include the historical origin of Books in
Bloom, as well as how its’ grown into a much-anticipated
social and literary gardening event for several area towns.
Principles of design will be described, as well as the mechanics
applied to each of the three (3) featured Books in Bloom
arrangements-prior to the book titles being revealed.
The three presenters will share the creative processes they
undertook to represent their chosen book.
1) Carole Gura:
Carole is a past President and 34-year active HORT member.
She is a nationally recognized floral designer who has been
featured in the National Gardener Magazine and won Arranger

Federated Garden Clubs and an exhibitor in several flower

Bloom event for many years and is the current author of the
HORT’s monthly “Carole’s Hints”.

passion for people, an eagerness to learn, and a sense of
creativity. The HORT provides her with the perfect medium to
foster these attributes. She helped initiate and has
participated in Newburyport’s Books in Bloom since its
inception, and for many years co-chaired the HORT’s Program
Committee.
3) Patsy Gallagher:
Patsy was the HORT President when the HORT, along with the
Friends of the Library, first initiated Books in Bloom as a library
fundraiser. She served on the planning committee in the early
years of the event. She’s participated as an amateur floral

that Books in Bloom evokes. Currently, Patsy provides hours of
service each summer maintaining many of Newburyport’s
floral arrangements that are found in town.
