Florist to the stars gives demonstration to Town & Country Garden Club of Liberyville

The Town & Country Garden Club of Libertyville has an annual Garden Walk called Hidden Gems, and at their recent November meeting, they found another "hidden gem" in Libertyville: Joseph's Floral and Events.

Joseph's has been in Libertyville for 56 years, and is owned by Daniel Dugo and his sister, Christy Dugo-Rudie. Joseph's does unique floral design for major events and special celebrations throughout the Chicago area, including large events for many well-known celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey.

Daniel Dugo came to the club's November meeting and demonstrated how to create beautiful and unique Thanksgiving table arrangements. His inspiring message was that you can use things you have to personalize your arrangement and create something unique and beautiful.

He created stunning arrangements with ordinary flowers, unique flower and plant accents from Joseph's, natural elements from the yard, and common place home decor. Daniel's eye for design, and use of textures, layers, colors and scents make Joseph's arrangements unique and recognizable. His love of floral design and knowledge of flowers came shining through, and he made amazing arrangements, all while chatting and laughing with garden club members.

Joseph's Florist was established in 1962, because of a love story. Daniel's father, a floral designer in Chicago, fell in love and decided to start a floral shop in Libertyville and married Daniel's mother, who was from the area. As they say, the rest is history.
