May General Meeting: Guest Speaker Heather Gray, "Special Exhibits"

Horticultural and Floral Design Judge Heather Gray will explore the different types of Special Exhibits specified in typical Flower Show Schedules, and share tips for creating these combining both horticultural and design elements.  Many of tonight's examples make wonderful additions to indoor and outdoor spaces at home, so this presentation is appropriate for anyone. That said, we do hope to encourage more members to enter special exhibits in our 2025 flower shows!

Heather Gray is an enthusiastic Richmond Hill gardener who belongs to seven garden clubs, is an accredited Horticultural Judge and Floral Design Judge, and who enjoys organizing and participating in flower shows, as well as sharing her considerable horticultural and design knowledge via workshops.
