Judges may, at their discretion, award 1st and/or 2nd, and/or make Highly Commended Awards. Judges also have the discretion to make no prize or award in a Class if, in their opinion, there is no exhibit in that Class worthy of a prize or award.

All plant material must have been grown by the exhibitor. All plants must have been in the exhibitor’s possession for at least 90 days prior to show. Please label exhibits. This is important as the purpose of a Show is education as well as competition and other exhibitors and the public may be interested in growing varieties that have been exhibited. If unknown, write on exhibit tag ‘Name Wanted Please’ and there may be someone who can assist you in naming that exhibit. For pots both the scientific name and common name is desired. In the Bonsai Classes, the age of the Exhibit should be included with the name.

There are bottles provided (soft drink bottles); however, you may use a container of your own choice. This container must be of clear glass for the cut flower classes. Specimen flowers must have their own stem and foliage. No stems longer than 70cm please. Pack the stem in the bottle neck using kitchen towel or oasis so that the stem is held firm for judging and display purposes.

Foliage plants are judged on the quality and appearance of leaves and stems. Flowering plants are judged for their display of flowers but should not show obvious foliage damage. Do not put oil on leaves of plants, leaves should be cleaned of all dirt but not coated in anything.
