The fifth annual "Longest Table" event benefits WUSF Public Media by showcasing a striking alfresco waterfront setting along famed Bayshore Drive in St. Petersburg, Fla. Taking a cue from the client’s logo, the floral team from Concept Bait created a richly branded, immersive environment replete with working watermill and 80 running feet of babbling brook, which ran down the center of the tabletop.
