Saturday, Sept. 14 — RUTLAND — The Rutland Garden Club will present a National Garden Club Small Standard Flower Show at the Castleton University Bank Gallery, 104 Merchants Row in downtown Rutland.
Judging will be conducted on Friday, Sept. 13, and the show will be open to the public on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show is free to attend.
Each National Garden Club show presents a number of areas of competition based on a theme. This show is called “FloralOpoly,” a play on the name of the board game Monopoly.
The show will contain entries from club members in four formal flower show divisions: Design, horticulture, education and botanical arts.
Within each division are the named classes. Each of the classes is named whimsically based on the game Monopoly, to reflect a guiding theme for that class. For example, within the design division, there will be a petite design class, “A Walk Through Marvin Gardens.”
Attendees will be invited to vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice contest for the photography exhibit.
