The purpose of Flower Show
School is to stimulate interest in horticulture and floral design,
provide an outlet for creative expression, to educate club members and
the viewing public and to convey to the community objectives of National
Garden Clubs (NGC).
NGC approves and registers Flower Show Schools for garden club members
to become recognized as an internationally accredited Flower Show Judge.
The school is comprised of four courses that are 2-3 days each. Courses
cover Principles and Elements of Design, design types, horticulture
presentation, flower show procedure, how to apply the scale of points,
awards and individual and overall show judging. Each course has an exam
that must be completed with a minimum score of 70%. Courses need not be
taken sequentially. However, all four courses and additional
requirements must be completed within a four-year time period.
After successful completion of any three of the courses, a member is
recognized as a student judge, allowing student to earn exhibiting
credits in horticulture and design (5 blue ribbons in horticulture &
design) and participate as a judge in five flower shows. After
completion of fourth course, student needs to write a flower show
schedule and take final exam (given twice yearly, simultaneously in each
state). To maintain accreditation, judges must attend a symposium and
file the appropriate NGC paperwork every 3 years. NGC's Handbook for Flower Shows
provides the most current information on the rules and procedures for
Flower Shows and their judges. Any corrections/additions/deletions made
to the Handbook appear in The National Gardener.
