LVGC To Present Its Annual Flower Show

COOPERSTOWN—The Lake and Valley Garden Club will hold its 2024 Garden Club of America Flower Show at The Farmers’ Museum’s Louis C. Jones Center on August 7 from 2-4:30 p.m. and August 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Judged exhibits, themed “Sunrise, Sunset,” will display club members’ skill in floral design, horticulture and photography. Creative floral designs are to include miniature designs, Ikebana inspirations and table setting artistry. Horticulture classes will feature garden cuttings, a sunflower growing challenge and potted plants.

Also included will be an educational exhibit focusing on the significance of the sunflower as a native species—its unusual biology and history, symbolism in ancient cultures, and importance in agriculture—and will explore the many ways the sunflower’s cheerful countenance has appeared in media images and symbols.

Local florists will also be represented in a non-judged exhibit showing off their flower-arranging skills.

The Lake and Valley Garden Club is a member of the national organization, The Garden Club of America. Admission to the flower show is free with museum entry.
