Spring has arrived. All around us flowers are beginning to bloom. Time to look around your yard to choose which flowers, potted plants or dish garden you want to enter in the Fillmore Flower Show this year.

Besides single stem cut flowers, there are other divisions for flowers. Division III is Bouquets. Arrange in a vase, cut stem or stems of the same flower variety or mixed colors or type of the same variety, but with no filler. Or, you can enter Division V, Arrangements. Flower displays up to 20” X 20” in your own container that may include items appropriate to the scene. Class A is traditional, Class B is Oriental Manner, Class C is Modern Abstract. Division VI, Miniature Arrangements and Bouquets. Class A not to exceed 4” X 4”, Class B, Not to exceed 10” X 10”.

The theme this year is “100 Years Celebrating Flowers.” The Flower Show has been a fun event since at least 1919. The Fillmore 2020—Civic Pride Committee has planned some special activities for the show this year. There will be live music, a plant boutique, children’s projects, displays from past Flower Shows and other interesting things to see and do. Plan to enter and/or visit.

See you at the Active Adult Center, 533 Santa Clara Street, Fillmore on April 13 and 14, 2019. For more information go to fillmoreflowershow.org.
