Symposiums

Symposium is an in-depth course of design, horticulture and allied subjects pertaining to flower shows that is more advanced than presented in Flower Show Schools.  These courses are primarily intended for Flower Show Judges to maintain their credentials, but all garden club members interested in learning more about flower shows, floral design and horticulture are encouraged to attend.

All NGC Accredited Flower Show Judges are required to attend NGC Symposiums in order to remain in Good Standing.  Good Standing is necessary if a judge wishes to continue judging and evaluating flower shows.  By attending and passing all Point Scoring Examinations, a judge advances from Accredited Judge to Accredited-Life Judge and finally Accredited-Master Judge. 

For more information about a symposium near you, contact the chairman listed or NGC Chairman, Jean Ohlmann.
