FLOWER SHOW

The Club’s flower shows are visual extravaganzas!  Featuring beautiful floral design arrangements, intricate table designs,  botanical arts and crafts made out of floral material and photography showcasing flowers or beautiful landscapes around town, exquisite horticulture specimens and interesting educational exhibits.  The Club’s flower shows are a wonderful way to educate and showcase the beauty of flowers with fellow members and the public.  All members are encouraged to get creative and participate in our flower show competitions, which have proved to be an exciting community event!  Please be sure to visit our complete photo gallery here.
