After a two-year hiatus, the Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College Foundation will hold its 16th Home and Garden Symposium Wednesday, May 11, at the new Orangeburg County Library and Conference Center on Russell Street in downtown Orangeburg. Guests will enjoy a brunch by Buckridge Plantation and have an opportunity to browse the silent auction before the formal presentation. South Carolina presenters sharing their expertise during this year’s event are: • Maria Baldwin, who – with her husband – owns Wimbee Creek Farm, an organic flower farm providing cut flowers and stems for floral design across the South. Using gorgeous blooms from their Seabrook farm, Baldwin’s topic, “Flowers All Year,” will give tips on flowers to grow for each season, crafting a stunning bouquet and how to care for fresh cuts. • Cricket Newman, a celebrated floral and event expert and owner of Cricket Newman Designs in Columbia. Newman will set “The Entertaining Table,” mixing textures and patterns paired with gorgeous blooms to create tablescapes for true Southern celebrations. • Erin Wolfe of LulaMac, who will share her passion for one-of-a-kind finds in a “quick style” session, mixing timeless pieces with modern touches that can add an updated style to any space in your home. Students from the college’s Agriculture program will also have a variety of plants for sale at the event. Tickets to the Home and Garden Symposium are $50 per person. Funds raised during this event will provide support and emergency aid to students. Additionally, proceeds will support academic program development and curricular innovations to meet community and workforce needs. The event will also support professional development experiences for faculty to ensure they remain current in their fields.
