    GARDEN NEWS TOP VASE 2011

    Here are the rules and special notes for this class which is supported by Garden News and with prizes sponsored by Thompson and Morgan.

    The Top Vase class is open to anyone who grows flowers and you don't have to be an award-winning exhibitor or flower arranger to take part.

    Competition Rules

    1. The Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering stems containing a total of between 5 and 10 stems, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plant.
      Please note that it is two different KINDS of plants - two varieties of the same plant are NOT two kinds.
    2. The display is judged out of a total of 35 points, split into: 25 points for colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers on display, and 10 marks for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase.
      The vase will be viewed from all directions. Judging of the flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes.
    3. Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only; no seed-heads of berries will be allowed.
    4. The vase can be any shape or size and made from any material, but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself.
    5. No accessories whatsoever - such as bows and additional foliage - will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still attached to that stem, will be allowed. Packing material - including florist's foam - to keep the stems in place is allowed.

    Notes for exhibitors and judges

There is a wide range of items for sale, discounted by up to 35%. These include seeds and onion sets, composts, fertilisers, bamboo canes and netting.

    Membership of the Society gives an opportunity to learn and share knowledge and expertise with other local gardeners and allotment holders.

    In addition to the Annual Show, the Society organises visits to gardens and nurseries.

    Membership is only £2 a year.

    You can join the Society at one of the trading sheds open every Sunday (alternate Sundays in winter):
