This program will be presented virtually via Zoom with in-person viewing, demonstration, and brown bag luncheon at the Delaware Center for Horticulture. We will present a pre-recorded lecture via Zoom by Professor Nancy Stalker, Ph.D., University of Hawaii, titled “Budding Fortunes: Ikebana in Japan’s Postwar Recovery.” This lecture is provided by the Ikebana Iwaya Fund through the NCAR liaisons. Members can choose to either watch from home or attend the viewing at the DCH where the lecture will be followed by a live single arrangement demonstration by a representative from each of the three schools discussed in the lecture: Ikenobo, Ohara, and Sogetsu. A brown bag lunch will follow so everyone has the opportunity for some social interaction. If winter weather causes hazardous driving conditions, the program will be entirely virtual with just the Zoom lecture.
