The Garden Club of New Jersey
held a standard flower show, "Entertaining All Around
the World," as part of the sixth N.J. Flower &
Garden Show at the N.J. Convention & Expo Center in
Edison. Renee Waite, of Tinton Falls, chaired the event,
which ran Feb. 14-17.
A dazzling array of outstanding horticulture greeted the
visitors, sprinkled with informative special exhibits.
A panel of 12 nationally accredited judges from neighboring
states judged this formidable show. Over 400 evergreens,
luscious succulents and exciting designs created a special
ambiance, which echoed the more than 50 class titles. Seventy
charming junior gardener designs added interest and showed
the creative talents of inspired future gardeners.
Shore-area garden clubs were strongly represented, and several
of the top national awards were presented to members of
the Navesink Garden Club, including: theArborealAward, Gotti
Kelley and Pam Sutton; Designer's Choice Award, Gotti Kelley;
and the Garden Club of New Jersey President's Trophy went
to the Navesink Garden Club. |
