The Fillmore Flower Show is just around the corner, April 6 &7, 2024. The theme this year is “Flower Power”.

There are many divisions. Two of the popular divisions are: Division VII—Potted Plants and Division VIII—Dish Gardens. Potted Plants are a single variety in a container that is not too heavy to be carried by the exhibitor. The categories in this division are: African violets, Orchids, Cacti and Succulents, Other. Division VIII—Dish Gardens are only limited to size and weight that can be carried by the exhibitor.

Over the years there, have been many creative and beautiful entries. Some dish gardens are newly created, others have been years old. Even if you live in an apartment or have a small yard, you can still enter something in the Flower Show. There have been years when a potted plant has won the Best of Show award.

There is an entry fee of $5 for each adult exhibitor no matter how many entries. All youth entries are FREE. There is no charge for public viewing between the hours of 1-4pm Saturday and Sunday.

The Flower Show is a lot of fun. Mark your calendar and plan to attend. For more information go to: fillmoreflowershow.org
