NORWICH — The Chenango County Federated Garden Clubs will hold their annual flower show Aug. 12 to 16 at the Chenango County Fair’s Exhibition Hall.

This year’s theme, “Gardening Reflections, 1776-2026,” weaves together 250 years of gardening heritage, innovative practices and the timeless art of cultivating the land and building a nation.

Passionate gardeners, flower enthusiasts and creative designers are invited to help transform the Exhibition Hall into a vibrant garden oasis. The show will feature a showcase of diverse flower specimens, expertly crafted floral designs, and horticulture arts and crafts submitted by garden club members, as well as the general public.
