NORWICH – The Garden Clubs of Chenango County will hold a public meeting at 6:30 p.m., July 10, at the Broad Street Methodist Church in Norwich. All those interested in flowers, houseplants, floral arrangements and the like are encouraged to attend as the meeting will offer tips and pointers to those wishing to enter this year’s Chenango County Fair Flower Show.

The Norwich, Greene, Oxford and Town and Country Garden Clubs are joining together to provide interested parties with information and suggestions to spruce up their entries for the annual show at the fair.

“Experts will give ideas for preparing one’s exhibit in the design section - explaining what the categories are - as well as how to prepare your flowers and plants for the horticulture division,” said committee member Jane Clement.

Said experts will include professional blue ribbon winners and event judges. The meeting will offer an opportunity for the interested public to gain insight from previous winners on a number of various floral topics.

According to Clement, the theme of the Flower Show this year is “Down on the Farm,” and there are a plethora of different design categories.
