Event Details

We are pleased to announce that Sarasota Garden Club will be holding its FLOWER SHOW in October 2023!

LAST YEAR’S FLOWER SHOW (Oct 2022) was entitled “GARDEN TO TABLE” and highlighted the beauty and bounty of our gardens for all to see and enjoy in a (FFGC: Standard) Flower Show. It showed permaculture, herbs, artistic floral interpretations and unusual horticulture from our members and invited guests.  The Flower Show won an Award from the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC) Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.

  • are willing to participate with a team and want to have FUN – THAT’S KEY!
  • have experience OR want to learn about flower shows
  • are willing to write, read, and edit material to promote the event
  • are creative OR ARE NOT creative
