Long before flower design became mainstream entertainment, Jenny Barker – known today as The Flower Doctor – was cast as one of the top floral designers in the nation to compete on a groundbreaking television show.
In 2010, Jenny joined the cast of The Arrangement, a bold and edgy reality competition produced by World of Wonder, the creative minds behind RuPaul’s Drag Race. The show aired on Logo TV, bringing together ten of the country’s most talented designers to battle it out in over-the-top floral challenges.
Branded as “the dirtiest, thorniest, most cutting competition yet,” the show pushed contestants to think outside the vase. From dramatic installations to imaginative themed designs, each episode tested artistry, speed, and vision under pressure.'
For Jenny, the opportunity was more than just television—it was a platform to show the world that flowers are not only beautiful, but powerful tools for storytelling, energy, and emotion. Competing on national TV gave her the chance to showcase her signature style: designs that balance elegance with daring creativity, always infused with intention and meaning.
Today, Jenny reflects on her time on The Arrangement as a launching point in her journey as a floral artist and entrepreneur. It confirmed what she already knew in her heart: flowers are not just decorations, they are medicine for the soul, and she was meant to bring that message to a larger audience.
From that moment forward, Jenny’s career blossomed into something much bigger—flower prescriptions, high tea experiences, luxury events, and now books like Flower Energy. But The Arrangement will always remain a colorful part of her story, reminding her (and her audience) of the power of saying yes to opportunities that stretch creativity and courage.
