    Flower Show School
    Course I
    October 6-8, 2008
    Cincinnati/Dayton

    Did you ever wonder who puts on the Amateur Flower Shows at Old Coney
    Island or the Hamilton County Fair or Harvest Home Fair?  Or who judged
    them?  What did they see in that blue ribbon design that made it better than the
    one I really liked that only got a yellow ribbon?





    This is your opportunity to find out at the Flower Show School being sponsored
    by National Garden Club Inc., Garden Club of Ohio, Inc. and your local affiliated
    Garden Clubs here in Cincinnati and in Dayton.  This school is comprised of 4
    classes one held every 6 months.  The first class will be held at Northminster
    Presbyterian Church on October 6, 7, & 8, 2008.


    These classes are open to those who would like to learn more about floral
    designs and/or horticulture for Flower Shows or their own educational benefit.


    For registration brochures or more information call Carol Johnson at
    513-521-6740 or email wildflower@cinci.rr.com.
