The Fillmore Flower show is almost here! The theme this year is “Fillmore Blooms!” Look around your garden and select the blooms you want to enter. We have many faithful gardeners who bring flowers, potted plants, arrangements, bouquets and dish gardens every year. That is what keeps the flower show going. But, we encourage others to participate too.
Maybe you are telling yourself, “I can’t compete with those people. I just have a few blossoms.” Well, one of those blossoms might be the grand prize winner. Or maybe you will just get a ribbon, but meet some wonderful people who also love gardening. You may hear people complimenting your bloom. Whatever the outcome, you will hear lovely music, see amazing displays, eat some cookies, read youth compositions and celebrate being in Fillmore.
Bring your entries to the Active Adult Center, 533 Santa Clara Street, between 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning (April 14). $5 entry fee no matter how many entries. Youth compositions should be dropped off at the same location Friday afternoon between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. Youth arrangements are created at the center by the entrant between 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. Saturday. Remember, there is a category for youth team entries. Youth entries are free.
All rules, special notes and divisions are available on the website: fillmoreflowershow.com
