Who is Don Vanderbrook? Really? 
His floral designs and decorations have graced events at many major institutions in this region, including the re-opening party at Severance Hall,  the opening of the Peter B. Lewis Building on the CWRU campus, the openings of University Hospitals’ Lerner Tower and the Cleveland Clinic’s Cole Eye Center, the Ireland Cancer Center’s Five-Star Sensation fund-raiser (for the past 20 years); Akron Children’s Hospital’s Charity Ball (for the past 25 years), the re-opening of Cleveland Botanical Garden and its new Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse; the Union Club’s 100th anniversary; and Gund Arena’s opening celebration – just to name a few.
 Among his work outside of Cleveland, Vanderbrook has designed the centerpieces for the Kennedy Honors Awards White House Dinners for 15 years. The National Gallery of Art celebrated one of its most prestigious benefactors, Andrew Mellon, with Vanderbrook’s design of topiary lilac trees for each table. The Gardner Museum in Boston brought him in to create floral displays in each room of the museum for its 75th anniversary. For the National Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C., he fashioned a special trellised room inside a tent for a performance by Johnny Mathis. He created a carnival effect for the opening-night theater party of Pagliacci at the Washington Opera. He also designed for a garden party and official visit by Queen Elizabeth; a state dinner for Margaret Thatcher; the re-opening of George Washington’s home, Mt. Vernon; and many weddings in New York City and Newport, parties in Palm Beach and Aspen, and much more.

His floral designs and decorations have graced events at many major institutions in this region, including the re-opening party at Severance Hall after its renovation, the opening of the Peter B. Lewis Building on the Case Western Reserve University campus, the openings of University Hospitals’ Lerner Tower and the Cleveland Clinic’s Cole Eye Center, the Ireland Cancer Center’s Five-Star Sensation fund-raiser (for the past 20 years); Akron Children’s Hospital’s Charity Ball (for the past 25 years), the re-opening of Cleveland Botanical Garden and its new Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse; the Union Club’s 100th anniversary; and Gund Arena’s opening celebration – just to name a few.

Vanderbrook’s work has been pictured in such prestigious publications as House and Garden, Bon Appetite, House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Flower and Garden Magazine, Colonial Homes, Town & Country, W, and many newspaper articles across the country. He has been on the Garden Club of America’s speakers list for many years, and has lectured around the country and in Canada and Holland. He has also contributed to many nonprofit institutions, serving on their boards and helping to raise funds in Cleveland, the adopted home town he loves.

Vanderbrook Florist is not closing, the business is as strong as ever and Don Vanderbrook is fine and going strong! This sale is a major spring cleaning of many years of collections and accumulations including many things from Don's private collection! There is just so much stuff that it is time to pass it on to the next collector, decorator, antiques lover!
