On July 27, 2024, the coastal towns of Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, and Santa Barbara blossomed into vibrant displays of floral artistry, marking the 30th anniversary of Florabundance. The event, fittingly named ‘Petals of Appreciation,’ transformed these charming communities into living galleries, with installations ranging from whimsical, towering creations to more delicate, intimate arrangements. “This event truly showcased the dedication, creativity, and community spirit that have defined Florabundance since its beginning,” remarked Joost Bongaerts, CEO of Florabundance.
