Flower Show Schools
Come and join us for Flower Show School! Flower Show School is not only for prospective flower show exhibitors and judges, but also for all garden club members and all persons interested in flower design and horticulture.
The horticulture curriculum
consists of basic general information on proper gardening techniques
from seed/plant selection to plant culture and control of problems.
Information is also presented on cultural needs of specific perennials,
annuals, trees and shrubs, as well as fruits, vegetables and nuts and
how to grow superior container plants.
Design instruction covers
traditional floral arrangements through contemporary styles and even
designs incorporating lights and motors. Many attendees are
particularly interested in table setting designs showing coordination
of floral centerpiece, linens and dishes. Vignettes, small segments of
rooms, also give ideas on interior decorating.
While the primary purpose of these courses
is to train those wishing to become flower show judges, many people
attend for information only and those people do not have to take the
examinations!
