 Boston, Mass – Floral design enthusiasts, art lovers, competitors, conservationists and connoisseurs of international culture should all mark their calendars to attend the 2011 World Flower Show taking place in Boston, Mass. at the Seaport World Trade Center June 15-19, 2011. Members of floral art societies from the 30 countries that comprise the World Association of Flower Arrangers (WAFA) will convene by the tens of thousands for the week-long event, which caps the United States’ first-ever three-year tenure as host country for WAFA.

“We chose our show theme, ‘This Glorious Earth,’ because it embraces both the worldwide scope and the celebratory nature of this event,” says Liza Weihman, Director of Publicity & Public Relations for WAFA USA. “This is the first time that the United States has hosted the show, which probably won’t return to the States in this generation.”

The World Association of Flower Arrangers (WAFA) is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization of floral art societies representing 30 member countries. WAFA was founded in 1981 and moves from country to country every three years. During its tenure, the host country organizes an International Seminar, stages a World Flower Show, convenes a General Assembly, produces a book portraying national floral designs and plans various other educational events.
