ROOTS – AIFD® National Symposium 2022

When seed takes root, the growth begins… To ensure a plant grows to its full potential, it requires special care, nourishment and attention. ROOTS best represents the spirit of the solid foundation that the floral education of AIFD is built on.  AIFD is the American Institute of Floral Designers. 

Each symposium the induction of AIFD’s newest members celebrate the future, and the organization recognizes the exceptional growth of design talents and celebrates them; bloom! At ROOTS, they honor their educators past and present. The 2022 esteemed roster of presenters and educators have taken on the commitment to teach. They will inspire and enlighten by sharing their most valuable lessons; inspiring floral design ideas with an innovative method of teaching.

AIFD® Presents The Radicle

AIFD® Is Exited To Bring To You the ROOTS Gallery – The Radicle. In botany, the radicle is the first part of a seedling to emerge from the seed during the process of germination. The Radicle Gallery will be fully curated with three installations to start the symposium. The exhibit will bloom with select premier art works by the artists captured from the Main Stage programs, the perfect place for photographs, and a close-up look at your favorite designs.

The Radicle will also be the meetup and go-to common space for community building, networking, and social events. Join your friends in this lounge area for relaxation and conversation in between programs and after-hours. The Book Store, workshops, impromptu artist talks, a Film Festival, and more will fill this ever-changing gallery.

Props, graciously contributed to the AIFD Foundation from Main Stage Designers, will be offered for sale in The Radicle Gallery throughout the AIFD® Symposium.

So you can plan now to bid on your favorite so that education continues to find new beginnings and grow! AIFD hopes to see you at the Rad!
