Flower Shows are unique spaces for observing and learning about plants, conservation, and garden design.

Every flower show begins with a schedule. It is the blueprint for the entire show: it presents the show’s theme, flower show rules, registration and entry procedures as well as any rules specific to the show. The theme is incorporated into the class titles, which the entrant then interprets and incorporates into their exhibit.
