NORWICH – Extremely warm weather conditions brought many gardeners’ prized flowers to bloom early this year, too early, in fact, to exhibit in the Chenango County Fair’s Horticultural Show, this year titled “Color Your World 2010.”

Because the exhibit is so popular, the garden clubs hosting it are asking anyone, adults and children alike, to enter what annuals, perennials, bulbs and tubers, and roses that they still have blooming.

“We often hear people say that they have flowers at home that rival those taking awards at the fair. We want you to look at your flowers and enter them,” said Marilyn Kochersperger, chairperson of the Norwich Garden Club’s exhibit.
