The Germantown Garden Club is busy preparing for its upcoming National Standard Flower Show, a long-standing tradition now in its 95th year. Accredited Flower Show Judge Barbara Campbell recently led a demonstration for club members, showcasing examples of the various design classes that will be featured in the show. Campbell provided valuable tips, shared creative ideas, and answered questions about horticulture entries, helping members fine-tune their submissions.
This year’s show, titled “The Four Seasons,” will be held at the American Legion Hall, located at 1154 Woods Road in Germantown. It will be open to the public on Saturday, September 7, from 1 to 4 p.m., and Sunday, September 8, from 1 to 3 p.m. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend.
The flower show will include a range of entries in line with the “Four Seasons” theme. The Design Division will feature both fresh and dried flower arrangements, organized into six major groups, each containing four unique designs. Meanwhile, the Horticulture Division will display a variety of specimens, such as individual flowers, annuals, perennials, herbs, cut branches, container plants, combination plantings, and vegetables.
Additionally, the show will include educational exhibits and a Botanical Arts Division, which will showcase a photography exhibit.
The Germantown Garden Club is a proud member of the Third District, Federated Garden Clubs of New York, Inc., as well as the Central Atlantic Region and National Garden Clubs. This prestigious event promises to be a showcase of floral artistry and horticultural expertise.
