A Fresh Look at Flower Shows
National Garden Clubs (NGC) has developed a new program to promote NGC Flower Shows. The program involves the Kentucky Judges Council to encourage and mentor clubs wishing to hold a flower show by providing information and support on schedule writing, awards, and procedures and then to guide the club through the flower show process. This program is designed for garden clubs that have never held an NGC Flower Show or garden clubs that have not held a flower show in the last five years.
To get your club started on the path to a fun and successful Flower Show, please contact the Judges Council President, Mary W. Turner (mary.turner@tetratech.com | 859-361-0799). A Mentor Judge will be assigned to your club and will provide you with a packet of information about staging an NGC Flower Show, including a sample Flower Show Schedule, a list of NGC Awards, and a list of the necessary supplies that can be ordered from NGC. With assistance from your Mentor Judge, your club will tailor the information to fit your needs and preferences and will work with you throughout the process—from beginning to end. Clubs that participate will be recognized with a certificate signed by the NGC President, Mary Warshauer.

NGC Flower Show Symposium presented by the Kentucky Judges Council
~Contact: Susan Leo 941-321-9230 lundeenleo@yahoo.com | Flower Show Judges Council ~What: Symposium ~Where: McCracken County Cooperative Extension Campus Paducah Kentucky ~When: Tue 28 Jun 2022 – Thu 30 Jun 2022 (All Day Central Time)The Kentucky Council of Nationally Accredited Flower Show Judges is pleased to present an NGC approved Flower Show Symposium. Symposia are primarily intended for Flower Show Judges to maintain their credentials, but all garden club members interested in learning more about flower shows, floral design, and horticulture are encouraged to attend.
The Horticulture component, taught by Jan Griffin, will feature Hollies & Hydrangeas. The Design component, taught by Claudia Bates, will feature Multi-Rhythmic & Cascade Designs. Two Allied Topics will also be presented: (1) Pressed Flower Note Card (a Hands-On activity) and (2) Floral Design Mechanics.
Click here to download the brochure and registration form.
For the public, attending a Symposium offers a different view of flower shows and more particularly, flower show judging—something that often mystifies exhibitors. When the doors to a flower show open, we see the result of the judge’s work—the placement of ribbons—but we know little about why a particular entry was judged blue ribbon worthy. Attendees witness firsthand how judges train to evaluate both horticulture exhibits and designs. Plus, they gain valuable insight into what makes a blue ribbon winner.
Situated in Western Kentucky, halfway between Nashville and St. Louis, Paducah was founded in 1827 by William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame. Its origin and prosperity are attributed to its strategic location at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers. A national heritage destination, Paducah is vibrant and sophisticated, culturally rich and full of flavor. Known as Quilt City USA®, Paducah is home to The National Quilt Museum and serves as an incubator for the fiber arts community. Thousands from around the world flock to Paducah each spring for the annual quilt show. Recognizing Paducah’s importance to the arts community, in 1913, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated Paducah as the world’s seventh Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art.
Calling Paducah “home” are Hancock’s (internationally-known fabric store); riverfront floodwall murals painted by Robert Dafford; antique stores; Freight House—where Paducah Chef Sara Bradley of “Top Chef” fame—offers Farm to Table Southern Cuisine; and Plant Oddities, worldwide shipper of Tillandsia (air plants).
The Kentucky Council of Nationally Accredited Flower Show Judges cordially invites you to join us for its Symposium June 28-30, 2022.
