FLORAL DESIGN CLASSES 2023

Classes 1-3 may be done in any style.

1. Vase containing lilies as the only flower(s), and foliage if desired. The vessel height can range from 20-30 cm (8-12″) tall with a mouth 8-15 cm (3-6″) wide. The vessel is clear and untinted, such as glass or plastic/acrylic.

2. Basket containing lilies. The Basket may be made of any material but must have a fixed handle visible and the design may be viewed from all around.

3. Bowl containing lilies. A bowl is any vessel with a mouth that is as wide or wider than its height, regardless of its shape.

Creative Arrangements 2023

Theme: Hail to the farmers!

In Classes 4-9, accessories are allowed. Lilies must be the dominant flower featured in the designs. Designs can be done in the traditional style or modern creative style of design unless the style is specified.

4. Tools – a transparency design. Using creativity, ingenuity, and perseverance, the farmer both creates and uses many tools, from simple implements to smart machinery.

5. Small-scale operations- a small design (8” x 8” x 8” maximum). In spite of encroaching corporate entities, snall-scale farming, such as urban or hobby farms, provide delicious products.

6. Crops and herds – a tapestry design. Unlike our home gardens, farms strive to produce enough for our communities as well as themselves.

7. Farm to table – a Hogarth Curve mass design. We celebrate the process of getting the raw products ready and distributed for use.

8. *New* open to trained designers or florists – Making ends meet – a stretch design. Most farming is seasonal so how a farmer spends the rest of the year has a great impact on the farm’s profitability.

9. Junior – designer’s choice. Class 9 is restricted to youth 16 and under.

Youth may enter any other class.
