FLOWER SHOW
The Marietta Council of Garden Clubs, Inc. and The North Georgia State Fair Association in cooperation with the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. and National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc. will present two standard flower shows "Music of Our Lives". The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. Exhibit Hall A on the fairgrounds will be filled with sights and smells of colorful, fragrant flower displays. The categories of competition include roses, dahlias, orchids, cacti, lilies, marigolds, asters, impatiens, daisies, herbs, shrubs, tress, chrysanthemums, hanging plants, fruit plants, and more; as well as design categories. Instead of a single bloom or plant, the design categories encourage creativity in designing displays with natural and floral ingredients. Our flower shows draw competitors and nationally-accredited judges from throughout metro Atlanta, so this should be an exceptionally exciting year. Show rules follow preset guidelines established by the National Garden Clubs, Inc. The competition is open to gardeners of all ages. The flower show rules are listed in the North Georgia State Fair Premium Catalog located at Cobb County Public Library branches and Cobb County Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs on County Services Parkway or E-Mail us your request by clicking on the "Contact Us" icon.
ENTRIES ARE OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC!
