Show Information
Since one of the purposes of the society is to encourage the production of high quality plant and flower products, shows are held each month from April to October (except July). These flower shows give members a chance to exhibit new varieties, uncommon plants, and creative arrangements. The shows are also an opportunity to be judged by experts on the merits of our everyday garden variety flowers and vegetables. Much can be learned from the judge's comments. Our flower shows are open to all members in good standing. Winners are eligible for prize points which earn monetary value, and can win some of the numerous society awards and trophies given for various best-of-show entries throughout the year.
