Spring 2024 Horticultural Show

Spring Horticultural Show

May 13, 2024 7:00 pm – 9 pm
Manotick United Church

 The Spring Horticultural and Design Show will run in conjunction with the May speaker event. 

Designed by: Rhonda Black

The event will be held concurrently with our guest speaker. 

The Horticultural Show entries will be judged by an Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA) Judge. The shows are always educational and it’s great to see what our members have in their gardens!

Horticultural Specimen Classes highlight a variety of flowers, perennials, shrubs, fruit, and vegetables that we have grown.

Design Classes use flowers (grown or purchased) and other materials to create a design as outlined in the show schedule.

Volunteers are needed for set-up and clean-up,    please sign up by clicking here.


There is an excellent resource book entitled “Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards for Floral Design and Horticulture”, created by the OHA. It details how to prepare for Flower Shows, how to get your horticultural specimens ready for a show, and outlines the different types of floral designs, along with the elements to create interest. These books are $10 and are available to members by emailing mhs@manotickhorticulturalsociety.com.
