FLOWERS
Exhibitors will furnish their own containers. In all classes of “Artistic Arrangements” the container and appearance as a whole will be considered. Please use large glass bottles for specimen stems of Dahlias and Gladiolus. Flower stems should have foliage, but NOT foliage below the water line. Judging will be based on the quality of the flowers exhibited. We cannot be responsible for loss or breakage of containers. NO EXHIBITOR WILL BE ALLOWED MORE THAN ONE EXHIBIT PER CLASS NUMBER. FLOWERS IN PAPER OR STYROFOAM CUPS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
All Polk County residents are eligible to participate as well as any out-of-county resident who has ties to Polk County. Please identify if exhibitor is Child, Youth or Adult. Top awards will be recognized in each division.
Follow the guidelines in 4-H Preparing Cut Flowers for Exhibits 4H227 (revised 2016) unl.box.com/s/2f3a785c67p7qhqasevp6gu6adf3ugon when preparing entries for the fair.
Artistic Arrangements
Purple $2.00, Blue $1.50, Red $1.25
These arrangements will be judged on the quality of the flowers, combination of flowers, the general overall appearance of bouquet including the container. The artistic arrangement should be like an arrangement you would purchase from the florist shop. Contact the Extension office for suggestions or ideas.
