Chrysanthemum Society National Convention and Show at Longwood

"Symphony of Mums" has been chosen as the theme for the 2011 National Convention

and Show. The dates are Thursday, October 27th through Sunday October 30, 2011.

The theme fits into the overall theme of "Sounds" that Longwood Gardens has chosen for 2011.

 
Galen L. Goss, the general chair, is looking for participants from local garden clubs to enter

specimens and designs for the horticulture and design sections. The Ballroom can be used for bloom

preparations from 8:00am until 5:00pm on Friday October 28th and and from 7:00am to 8:00am

on Saturday. Access to the Fern Floor Exhibition Hall for bloom entries will start at 10:00am on Friday

but must end by 5:00 pm that day.
If you are interested in participating in this event, the show schedule can be viewed at http://www.mums.org/.

The schedule will not be complete until April 15, (dimensions still have to be added) but can be

partially viewed now. This is a standard flower show. Anyone can enter
There are 40 chapters in the USA but none locally, so they need the garden clubs to drum up local

support.
