 With 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. – roughly 59 million to 61 million people – living with a mental illness, Bucks County Community College invites the public to learn more at its third annual Recovery & Mental Health Community Resource Fair on Thursday, March 5. “The fair provides the opportunity to bridge gaps in awareness, support, and treatment for our college community and for the public,” noted Emily Sexton, the College’s Collegiate Recovery Program Coordinator. “This event is intended to foster a community of hope and reduce stigma so that no one is alone in their journey.” The free event, which takes place from noon to 2 p.m. in the Rollins Center on the Newtown Campus, features representatives from more than 50 organizations from Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. They will share information on a myriad of subjects, including mental health, suicide, gambling, collegiate recovery programs, substance use disorder and recovery, eating disorders, sexual health and wellness, domestic violence, and overall wellness. New this year are mindfulness demonstrations, comfort dogs, door prizes, and giveaways, Sexton added. Some of the participating organizations include: Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission Bucks County Department of Mental Health PRO-ACT/Southern Bucks Recovery Community Center Planned Parenthood Keystone/The Rainbow Room Voice and Vision NOVA Bucks A Woman's Place The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders St. Luke’s Penn Foundation Woods Services The event is sponsored by the Bucks County Community College Collegiate Recovery Program in collaboration with the Student Life department.

Bucks floral designers prepare for the Philadelphia Flower Show

Award-Winning BCCC Floral Design Program Returns to the Philadelphia Flower Show

After a stunning debut in 2025, students are creating a ‘Rooted in Art’ theme for the 2026 show that runs February 28 – March 8 Bucks County Community College’s floral design program returns to the Philadelphia Flower Show February 28 – March 8 after a stunning debut last year, when students took home a silver medal from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Stemming from the show’s theme of “Rooted: Origins of American Gardening,” the College’s exhibit is called “Rooted in Art,” reflecting BCCC’s origins of being founded on the Newtown estate of artist and educational philanthropist Stella Elkins Tyler. “’Rooted in Art’ is a celebration of where creativity begins, and how it grows,” said Renee Tucci, a floral design instructor at the College and national president of the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD). “It tells a story deeply rooted in the vision of Stella Elkins Tyler. Her lifelong love of art, and her unwavering dedication to education, helped shape the rich and diverse creative programs that thrive at Bucks today. She is the root from which it all began.” The exhibit features seven original floral designs, each interpreting the connection between nature, art, and education, alongside six selected student works from the College’s School of Arts and Communication. “These pieces — representing ceramic, jewelry, woodworking, photography, and drawing — highlight the collaborative spirit and cross-disciplinary creativity that define the Bucks community,” Tucci noted. “A highlight of the exhibit will be a bronze sculpture of Joan of Arc, created by Tyler herself.” Lead floral design students taking part are: Amparito Arriaga, CFD (Certified Floral Designer); Isabelle Kondel, Karen Kuyper, Jennifer O’Donnell, CFD; Lauren O’Leary; mother-daughter duo Els Poff, CFD and Melanie Poff, CFD; Mary Rigau, Maria Salinas, Melinda Spink, and Linda Weinberger, CFD. Art students whose works are featured in the exhibit are: Mason Chase, Payton Ferri, Crystal Grey, Layne Griffaton, Scott Menin, and Sofiya Vasyutinskaya. Additionally, several students and instructors from the program will be featured on the 6ABC show “FYI Philly” on Saturday, February 28, as part of its Philadelphia Flower Show segment. The special feature will give viewers an inside look at the creative process behind the production and installation of the "Rooted in Art” exhibit. The BCCC Floral Design program, which offers both certificate and degree options, provides students with hands-on experience and a solid foundation in the art of floristry. As an Educational Partner with the AIFD, the program equips students with the skills necessary to pursue careers in event design, floral retail, and more. Students have the opportunity to become a Certified Floral Designer (CFD) by completing the comprehensive curriculum. For more information, visit the Floral Design Certificate Program web page.
