Inspirations by Gina to Be Featured at the 2026 Bouquets to Art In-Person Floral Program at the de Young Museum
We are honored to announce we will be speaking at the 2026 Bouquets to Art at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, on March 6, 2026. We are thrilled to be part of the in-person floral program, Bloom Where You’re Rooted: Culture and Floral Design.
Teresa Speight, the author of Black Flora: Inspiring Profiles of Floriculture’s New Vanguard will also be on stage presenting with us. We both will be weaving three themes: African American contributions to floristry, sustainability, and Southern floral traditions. Each of these threads tells a story—one of resilience, artistry, and cultural legacy—and together they form the foundation of our creative vision.
Honoring African American Voices in Floristry
For many African Americans, representation is deeply personal and profoundly important and often has been overlooked in the floriculture narrative. We will celebrate the creativity and ingenuity that African Americans have brought to floriculture for generations.
Sustainability at the Heart of the Design
Sustainable floristry is not a trend for us—it is a commitment. Inspirations by Gina has long championed eco‑conscious practices, from sourcing locally grown flowers to minimizing floral foam and reducing waste. We will highlight these values through intentional material choices, seasonal blooms, and mechanics that honor the environment.
By showcasing sustainable design, we aim to spark conversations about how florists can create beauty without compromising the planet.
Rooted in Southern Tradition
Our rich botanical history; lush gardens, heirloom flowers, and a culture that embraces southern African American hospitality and storytelling through nature will be incorporated into our designs inspired by these traditions.
