Remco, a third-generation Dutch floral designer, has curated a presentation specially for History Blooms 2026.

Growing up in the world of flowers, Remco trained as a Master Florist. As the primary floral designer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Remco’s stunning arrangements show flowers as works of art. His prettier-than-pictures floral creations bring beauty to life. As a partner in event design firm Van Vliet and Trap, Remco has worked with clients from global luxury brands to major cultural and financial institutions, consulates, universities and foundations.

In this exclusive teaching engagement, Remco will share stories of his lifelong immersion in flowers and delight the audience with jaw-dropping creations.

A talented floral designer, horticulturist, and educator, David endeavors to use nature in his creations. His designs are sought by a wide variety of venues and clients, and he shares his knowledge through workshops and lectures throughout Virginia. As the floral designer for the Virginia Executive Mansion during two gubernatorial administrations, David incorporated natural materials among native blooms to beautify the remarkable historic home. In this hands-on workshop, participants will create their own design based on David’s expert instruction. Bring only yourself and your clippers and leave with a Revolutionary creation.

The Salem Museum will host a staged reading of a long-forgotten 1700s comedy play entitled The Candidates; or, The Humours of a Virginia Election. This Salem Museum event will be on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM and open to the public.

Written and set in the early 1770s on the eve of the American Revolution by Colonel Robert Munford, this farcical tale about a Virginia House of Burgesses election satirizes the corrupt campaigning culture of the day. With stinging critiques of electioneering and witty dialogue to boot, Munford's three act comedy will be put on in the Roanoke Valley for the first time ever through a staged reading adaptation at the Salem Museum.

Salem Museum volunteer Steve Aaron will helm the production. “I am thrilled to be directing The Candidates,” says Aaron, an actor and veteran Museum Ghost Walk performer. On the timeliness of the play, “Its rich characters are relatable to us all with issues that transcend to the modern political and social climate, and translates well to its audience. The Candidates reminds us that it’s good to laugh at ourselves!”

Aaron and the Museum are actively seeking participants to read for numerous characters. No previous experience in plays or acting is required. If interested in reading a part or volunteering on the project, please contact the Salem Museum via phone at 540-389-6760 or via email at info@SalemMuseum.org.
