The 2nd Flower Show Awards are in and we have some very exciting news!
There were many ‘firsts’ and many creative wins by our Garden Club members this year. However, of particular note are the accomplishments of two of our members.
Joan Archer, of the Sope Creek Garden Club, earned a blue ribbon in Class 5: The Midway, which led to her win in the Designer’s Choice category, and culminated in her winning the overall top design of the flower show, the Award of Design Excellence. This is an impressive accomplishment, but is even more impressive since Joan is a first-time entrant to the Flower Show! (She also attended the Council’s Flower Show 101 class at the Garden Center last August, so we can all say, “we knew her when…”.)
