Thursday, January 24, 2008
Gardeners challenged to create window vignettes at the New Jersey Flower and Garden Show
SPRING LAKE, NJ—Each year, the Garden Club of New Jersey presents a standard flower competition at the New Jersey Flower and Garden Show. In concert with this year’s theme
“The Entertaining Garden…Party Among the Petals”, the Club has challenged entrants in their competition to design vignettes and floral arrangements that portray the joys of outdoor living. One of the awards to be presented is in the Horticulture Division and is entitled: Windows to the World. Club members will use full sized windows provided by Renewal by Anderson to create floral displays or window boxes. The windows are made from Fibrex – a wood-composite material and are Green-Seal-certified, ENERGY-STAR qualified and made with insulating Low-E double pane glass that helps save on energy costs. The show will be in full bloom from February 14-17, 2008 at the New Jersey Expo and Convention Center in Edison, New Jersey.
The Garden Club of New Jersey, founded in 1925, is a federation of individual local garden clubs throughout the state with over 5,000 members, age 6 to adult. Their mission is to promote the love of gardening, floral design, and civic and environmental responsibility.” We are pleased that the Garden Club of New Jersey will once again hold their standard flower show as part of our show”, said James B. McLaughlin, President of MAC Events, the producer of the New Jersey Flower and Garden Show . “With competitive classes such as Festive Gathering, Dining on the Deck, Join Me on the Porch and The Splendor of the Summer Garden, we know visitors will come away with creative ideas for their next outdoor celebrations,” he added.
Garden lovers will catch their first scents of spring as they stroll through the verdant full-scale display gardens with colorful flowers, bubbling fountains, creative lighting and garden pavilions. Shoppers will get a full dose of retail therapy in the Great Green Marketplace where they can scoop up antique urns and planters, wall vases, fresh flowers and plants and the latest in gardening gloves and tools. The pros will be on hand to offer tips on green gardening and how to make the prefect planter for your patio or front porch and kids will get their hands dirty at the interactive Growing up Green area.
