Flower Show School 4, September 17-18, 2019
The New Orleans Council of NGC Flower Show Judges will be hosting School 4 in their Flower Show School series. I think you will ALL be interested in this school. Our Horticulture instructor is Pam Braun. She has been an active instructor and horticulture expert for several years. The subject material is VERY important this class. We will be studying Sansevieria (Dracena) and Salvia. This should be of interest to all judges and all who are involved in horticulture in flower shows because Sansevieria has been reclassified. It has been tested generically and many have been found to belong to another family. As judges and horticulturist we should know the difference of those remaining under the Sansevieria name and those reclassified. Pam will help us to understand the difference.
Kathleen Hawryluk will be our design instructor. For those of you not familiar with Kathleen, she is a vibrant, interesting artist who relates floral design to art. She is very interesting and creative, a delight to have as an instructor. She will be teaching Abstracts, Creative Designs and Botanical Arts. I am sure new designers as well as seasoned veterans will be delighted with her class. Finally, School IV is a place for Accredited Judges (not Life or Masters) to refresh.
I have given you three good reasons to come to our school for academic reasons but in addition we welcome all with friendship and good food!!! So I ask you to consider register for Course IV, to be held at Pontiff Playground, Metairie. Horticulture will be Tuesday, September 17th and Design Wednesday September 18th. Reba Mackey is taking reservations ( 504-421-1465 or mackeyrw@bellsouth.net). Mary Ellen Miller is School Chairman (504-723-7796 or memiller306@yahoo.com). Please contact either of us for more information or to register.
We have a room block at the La Quinta Airport hotel for September 16, 17 and 18. The rooms will be $79 per night plus tax, breakfast included. The block is listed under New Orleans Council of Flower Show Judges. Hope you enjoy your stay and our school.

Staging Panel
Staging panel - it is fun to see how different colors work with your design. This particular design was staged on a pedestal in the Covington Flower Show, but I enjoyed playing with color. - Carrie Martin

Flower Show I Slide Show!
The horticulture curriculum consists of basic general information on proper gardening techniques from seed/plant selection to plant culture and control of problems. Information is also presented on cultural needs of specific perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs, as well as fruits, vegetables and nuts and how to grow superior container plants.
Design instruction covers traditional floral arrangements through contemporary styles and even designs incorporating lights and motors. Many attendees are particularly interested in table setting designs showing coordination of floral centerpiece, linens and dishes. Vignettes, small segments of rooms, also give ideas on interior decorating.
While the primary purpose of these courses is to train those wishing to become flower show judges, many people attend for information only and those people do not have to take the examinations!
