This fall, Continental Floral Greens had the honor of contributing to one of the most anticipated floral design events of the year, the 2025 FLOWER Magazine Showhouse in Nashville. As a featured foliage supplier, we partnered with a standout roster of floral designers who brought each room to life through imaginative and seasonally inspired arrangements. Curated by Ariella Chezar, FLOWER’s floral chair for the project, this showhouse wasn’t just about interiors, it was a celebration of floristry, creativity, and quality ingredients.
Inside the Showhouse
FLOWER Magazine’s annual showhouse is always a moment to watch, and this year’s Nashville edition, open to the public October 9–26, was no exception. Under the creative direction of founder and Editor-in-Chief Margot Shaw, the showhouse enlisted nine floral designers to flower each room, each selected and guided by the incomparable Ariella Chezar.
“For obvious reasons, our FLOWER Showhouse was going to be a prime floral venue. We tapped the illustrious and ingenious Ariella Chezar as our floral design chair, and she curated a stellar list of local designers to ‘flower’ the spaces throughout the house. Each arrangement beautifully suited the individual designer’s vision, and having Continental Floral Greens and their fabulous fresh material made everything more beautiful.”
— Margot Shaw, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, FLOWER Magazine
Among the talented floral voices featured was Anna Lisa Design, who worked across four unique interior spaces over a four-week period—each with a completely different aesthetic.

Designer Perspective: Anna Lisa Design
Anna Lisa’s experience highlighted the versatility and quality of CFG products in high-visibility, high-performance settings like the Showhouse.
“Partnering with CFG was such an asset while working in the FLOWER Showhouse. Their quality was not only diverse and beautiful, it was reliable. When flowering for a showhouse, longevity is key. I was blown away with how well their varieties sustained.”
— Anna Lisa
Her favorite installation? The mudroom, designed with an English countryside flair. With CFG greens in hand, she leaned into a storytelling approach, imagining a room where someone had just returned from foraging outdoors—mud on their boots and a basket full of branches in hand.
“Each room had a very unique personality, and each week the florals were a little different. I had the honor of four weeks working with four very different designers and was able to play and exercise imagination.”
