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. |
