Flower Show School Students and Garden Guild Garden Club held an NGC Standard Flower Show entitled ‘A Walk in the Garden’ at Racheff Gardens in Knoxville on Friday, September 25, 2020. Because of rainy weather, designs were staged indoors while horticulture was exhibited in the tool shed. Social Distancing and Face Masks were required. Sara, Cindy, and Natalie were exhibitors. Of the five design classes, Shady Oaks members took home blue ribbons in three. Sara won a blue ribbon for her parallel design in a section for accredited flower show judges only. Cindy was also an exhibitor in this class. Natalie entered a line design and a tubular design. Her tubular design featuring hydrangeas twisting around an old animal yoke won a ‘best of show’ ribbon. Featured horticulture included perennials grown for bloom, cut herbs, container-grown succulents, cut specimens of plants grown for foliage, and container-grown plants grown for foliage. Shady Oaks brought home a number of blue ribbons here as well.
