Floral design has taken on a new
attitude in this celebration of flowers showcasing the expertise and
creativity of some of the state’s best designers–many of whom are award
winners. The Design Division boasts nine different design types, with
several entries each, based on world zoos and their inhabitants, such
as the Hippopotamus Class with intriguing underwater designs. The
Horticulture Division will delight and educate with superlative
examples of well grown, well groomed fresh plant material to include
annuals, branches, bulbs, rhizomes and corms, container grown plants,
herbaceous perennials, roses, vegetables and vines. Special Exhibits
will cover a variety of educational topics from Protecting against
Invasive Species, Pollinators of the World, Building "Green", to NHFGC
participation in NGC Sponsored Youth Projects. Also included are Youth
Exhibits and a Sponsored Group Exhibit showcasing clubs' "hands on"
Garden Therapy. Included in this Division is The NH Orchid Society, and
their exotic and beautiful orchids. After a lapse of over 15 years,
this is a treat for the senses not to be missed. Contact: www.nhfgc.org.
