The 2021 Festival of Flowers, LoDa Style, in Cathedral Square was a cultural delight for Mobile and the surrounding areas as well as a boost to downtown businesses. The community event, open to the public through a donation of choice, was attended by more than 10,000. Proceeds of the 2021 Festival of Flowers LoDa Style will be used to purchase Critical Care Monitors for the Cardiac Care Unit at Providence Hospital.
All Creatures Great and Small
9 teams created living sculptures representing the theme. Each team consists of a florist, an artist, a nursery, a landscaper, a designer, an architect and/or any other creative field that would benefit implementation. Teams went head-to-head as they compete for the People’s Choice Award.
The Winner of the Show was A Bloom Garden Center! The Second and Third Place went to Flower Floozy’s Alligator and Revelry Bloom’s Blue Heron.
