The 2010 Southeastern Flower Show is a “must see”!
Join us at the Flower Show and escape the cold gray days of winter by immersing yourself in the beauty of vibrant colorful plants and the Show’s engaging events at the Show.
It’s a Show everyone should enjoy! Hundreds of volunteers, environmental groups, educators and artists, all share their talents and commitments to the Show. Display gardens showcase high quality plants and well designed solutions to landscaping. Greening groups have joined in to share their knowledge and experience about horticulture, and creative designers will dazzle the eye with expressive arrangements. Children will delight in this year’s interactive and hands-on workshops. Special presentations from green businesses will offer innovative ecological solutions to daily living.
Proceeds from the Flower Show are used to carry on the Southeastern Horticultural Society’s educational programs: teaching children about plants; sharing information about regional natural resources; and supporting the best horticultural practices.
Best Regards,
Kate Chura

Meet Our 2010 Southeastern Flower Show Chairman
Emily Johnson
The Southeastern Horticultural Society is gearing up for its 23rd annual Southeastern Flower Show. There are only 2 weeks to go until the Cobb Galleria Centre is turned into a paradise of beauty bursting with color, ideas and the latest green living lifestyles where we can “Discover the Beauty of Green.”
An event of this magnitude takes hundreds of volunteers and countless hours of preparation, dedication and organization. Our highly qualified leader in chairing this event in 2010 is Emily Johnson. Emily has been an integral part of the Flower Show for over ten years volunteering her time, knowledge and willingness to inspire others and spreading her love of horticulture to adults and children. All of this comes easily and natural to a person who has had a prominent career in education. Teaching has been the root of Emily’s professional career. A graduate of the University of Georgia, she received both a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Master’s in Education. She then went to Georgia State University and received an Education Specialist Degree. Emily has taught in elementary schools, been a reading consultant for the Atlanta Public Schools, was the Director of Instruction for the Westminster Elementary School, founder of the tutoring service for children, “All About Learning,” and has been an adjunct professor for both Georgia State University and Perimeter College. At the top of all of these accomplishments is her number one priority-her family. Emily is a wife, mother of two and grandmother of four. Believe it or not, she still finds spare time to do some of her favorite hobbies: cooking, gardening, floral design, and traveling to far off places.
The Southeastern Horticultural Society wants to thank Emily for being this year’s Show Chairman!

DUBELYOO, THE ARTIST BEHIND THE SCENES
The Southeastern Horticultural Society (SHS) is proud to introduce the artistic genius of Dubelyoo, pronounced W.He is the man behind the creation of the graphic design for this year’s Flower Show. Dubelyoo is not new to the art scene. On the contrary, his portfolio includes corporate giants such as Nike, Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Heineken. His talents range from producing graphics for music videos, feature films, publications and web sites.
Dubelyoo isn’t just a brilliant designer; he is also a highly successful art curator. His first show at the High Museum of Art sold out in just two hours! He also is the producer of the largest touring urban art show in the U.S., “Arts, Beats & Lyrics.” We are sure you will agree that his playfulness with color, style and organics helped create the perfect visuals for the 2010 Southeastern Flower Show!
