Our ikebana exhibition this year was held on the weekend of Feb 22-23, 2025 at the Sackville Public Library. Thank you to all who came and visited us. We hope you enjoyed the show. We certainly enjoyed putting everything together!

It was an interesting challenge as the tops of bookshelves were used as platforms. So all the arrangements had to be designed to be seen from roughly around eye level and up. Also, we had to take care that no branches go past beyond the air space of the shelf, lest a library patron get poked in the eye while browsing the shelves!

The library’s main hall was a beautiful space with a large wall-to-wall glass window that allowed natural light into the space. It also afforded us with a breathtaking view of the outside scenery and was a wonderful backdrop for the demonstration. We used the shelves on the right side for the exhibition.

We’d like to thank the team at the Sackville Public Library—Eric D, Jasmina K, Ainslie C, and Doreen S—for your warm welcome. You made everything go smoothly! Thank you for entrusting your space to us for the weekend!

To Miyako’s students who gave so much of their time and effort to make this a success, well done and thank you! We hope you had a great experience.
