You are invited to participate in the GCSP’s annual flower show for the Green Thumb Festival’s 40th Anniversary.  Our theme, “All Aboard!” celebrates the ongoing journey of the festival as it continues to grow and ours as we co recover from Hurricane Helene.  The show is an opportunity for members to showcase their creativity and skills in floral design, crafts and photography. Our varied horticulture displays not only show off our green thumbs,  they educate  others on the wide variety of plants that grow here in Pinellas County. 

This judged NGC standard flower show is an opportunity to be rewarded with blue ribbons, top exhibitor awards and be recognized by the public who vote for the People’s Choice Awards. Their favorites are rarely the same as the judges’ picks.

Below are the specific descriptions and rules for each of the areas you might want to enter an exhibit. These are called schedules.  All entries must be registered on the forms below or are available at all GCSP General Meetings and from Jan Ankerberg.  

There are other ways to participate in the show without having to enter an exhibit. Volunteers are needed on Thursday and Friday to help transform the Walter Fuller gymnasium into a beautiful display.  On Friday afternoon, Volunteer clerks assist the judges and place the indicated ribbons.  Saturday and Sunday  provide opportunites to engage with those looking at the exhibits and have some great conversations with others who may be as equally passionate about gardening, floral design and crafts.
