2016 Charles County Fair Flower Show

BACK TO EVENTS

​

​

Horticultural Exhibits showed the talent of the County's residents and all the different things they grow in their gardens. Potted plants, flowers, herbs, landscaping plants filled the front of the Flower Building and amazed the Fair-goers.


Junior Exibitors had two classes. In 2016, the themes of White Rabbit and Blue Caterpillar gave the young designers a chance to make smaller arrangement with either fresh or dried materials, and test their interpretive skills.

​

In our August Meeting, Dottie Howatt,  gave a great presentation on designs.  Although she says she is a horticultural person, she shared tips on how to get a design done without stressing out.

 

Most importantly, she shared the Point Scoring Evaluation Form the difference between Traditional and Creative designs that gave us insight into what the judges look for --- and take off for.  If you don't understand the difference between Traditional and Creative designs, you will probably loose points that you aren't even aware of.   A small part of a branch reaching out of the allotted space is all it needs.
