Please join Hortulus for CURRENT, a Garden Club of America Flower Show on September 28-30, 2023 at Christ Church Parish Hall. The Celebration Party is Thursday, September 28, and CURRENT is open to the public free of charge on Friday, September 29 and Saturday, September 30.
The purpose of a flower show is threefold: to set standards of artistic and horticultural excellence; to broaden knowledge of horticulture, floral design, conservation, photography and other related areas; and to share the beauty of a show with fellow club members and the public.
The Garden Club of America Flower Show & Judging Guide, October 2021 edition
The purpose of Hortulus is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening and creative design; to protect, restore, and improve the quality of the environment through education, programs and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement.
Net proceeds from the CURRENT Celebration Party, Auction, and Raffle will benefit the Hortulus Civic Improvement Fund.
Thank you, in advance, for your generosity and support.
