Kennett Square, PA –“Floral Notes”, a Standard Flower Show by five National Garden Club member clubs is to be held under the auspices of the Visitor Education Department of Longwood Gardens on September 24 and 25 at Longwood Gardens. Two design entries are available: Waltz, a Pedestal class and Rock and Roll, a niche class. Interested persons should contact Peggy Hartwick, Longwood Flower Show Chairman, at 610.363.7545 as soon as possible.
Clubs planning the flower show include Spade and Trowel Club of Kennett Square, Four Seasons Garden Club of Kennett Square, The Garden Class of the Woman’s Community Club of Uwchlan, The Country Gardeners and the Wayne Woods Garden Club. A bi-annual event, this show has been held 12 times over the past 21 years.
All gardeners and flower arrangers are invited to exhibit. It is not necessary to be a member of a garden club. All entries should follow the rules in “The Handbook For Flower Shows”. Judges from New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania will follow National Garden Clubs Standards for judging entries.
Staging a flower show for the public helps support the purpose of garden clubs everywhere – to stimulate interest and knowledge of gardening, flower arranging and conservation. These days with a renewed interest in gardening as a way of beautifying, feeding and saving our planet, visitors to the Longwood Flower Show will be thrilled, impressed and educated by the efforts and results of gardeners in our community.
