What is a Standard Flower Show?
Flower shows help spread the word about the joys of gardening.
A flower show is a competitive exhibition of floral designs and horticulture. A Standard Flower Show is one that follows the rules and criteria of National Garden Clubs, Inc. A “Schedule” of rules is written for each individual show which includes, among other things, the theme of the show, the types of exhibits (classes), the staging requirements for the exhibits, the judging criteria and the awards.
Standard Flower Shows are among garden clubs most popular educational and social activities. These colorful, enjoyable events give club members an opportunity to exhibit horticulture and floral arrangements from members of the garden clubs.
Art in Bloom
Each year, the North Carolina Museum of Art sponsors Art In Bloom, a four-day festival, that features over 50 floral interpretations of art in the Museum’s permanent collection created by renowned floral designers including some RGC members.
