Happy New Year!

Attention all gardeners! It is never too early to begin thinking about your entry for the Fillmore Flower Show. This year’s theme is “Bursting with Beauty.” The show will be held in the Fillmore Senior Center April 11 and 12, 2015.

For over 70 years, the Fillmore Flower Show has delighted both participants and viewers alike. The Vision 2020 Civic Pride Committee is pleased to sponsor the show again this spring. Many of you have been planning your entry since the show last year. For others, consider participating for the first time. Encourage your children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors to display their beautiful blooms.

All residents of the Fillmore Unified School District are eligible to enter. Entry divisions are: Single Stem Cut Roses, Single Stem Cut Iris, Other Single Stem Cut Flowers, Arrangements in a Single Container, Bouquet, Miniature Arrangement and Bouquets (not to exceed 4 inches by 4 inches), Potted Plants, Dish Gardens and Youth Arrangements. For our youth wishing to express the theme in writing, there is also Youth Composition competition.

Now is the time to mulch and weed, dig and spread, nourish and plant. Mother Nature will reward you with a beautiful rainbow bursting with color. Then, all you have to do is share the beauty with the rest of your community at the Fillmore Flower Show.
