Greetings to all Gardening Kingston members, and welcome to a new exhibi-
tion season. Your flower show committee has been hard at work, and have
come up with an exciting and challenging set of show schedules for this
year. The horticultural classes will, as always, be suited to the month of the
meeting. The design classes will be following an arc for the season. For each
show we have chosen musical composers whose birthdays occurred in that
month. Individual works were then paired with specific designs for you to
interpret.
One change in competitions this year has been necessitated by a recom-
mendation from the OHA board. All exhibitors in our shows will now have
their own competition numbers. If more than one member shares a garden,
they will be able to compete separately under their individual numbers.
Therefore, it will be acceptable for both exhibitors to enter the same class,
but with only one entry each, as in the Competition Rules, item #2. As al-
ways, members are welcome to enter as many classes as they can cope
with, and we hope that more members will try out at least one class. Work-
ing with our chosen point system, the new 'E for Effort' award can be won
just for trying, as every entry gets at least one point.
We will again be providing mini-demonstration workshops, hosted by our
resident design guru, Ann Levison. Where possible, these will start at 6:45
pm, just prior to the start of the monthly meetings in March, April and May.
The June and September meetings are too busy to stage the demos, so they
will be videoed and made available on the website.
Committee Members: Adrian Cooper, Ann Levison, Avery Wagg, David Kelly,
Dennis Williams, Jean Barna, and Nalini Stiemerling
M e s s a g e f r o m t h e C o m m i t t e e
P a g e 2 I n t h e S p o t l i g h t
1. The shows are not restricted to members of the Kingston Horticultural Society. Anyone may en-
ter, except for those who make a substantial part of their income from growing, selling or arrang-
ing flowers and/or vegetables.
2. Each exhibitor can enter only one exhibit in each class.
3. Exhibits must be entered and in place by 7:30 pm.
4. Judging will be in accordance with the 2019 edition of the Ontario Judging & Exhibiting Stan-dards for Floral Design and Horticulture. Please refer to it for definitions and information. It is
available from the Society for $10.
5. Judges decisions are final. Verbal appeals can be made if the judge is still on the premises.
6. No exhibit will be awarded a prize unless the judge considers it to have sufficient merit, even if it
is the only entry in the class.
7. An entry tag displaying the exhibitor’s number, but concealing his/her name, must be attached
to every entry. Exhibitor numbers are available in advance from the show chair or at the show.
Entry tags are available at the show, but are also available at meetings or by arrangement with
the show chair.
8. For uniformity, the Society prefers the use of standard white vases in all rose classes in the “Joys
of June” and “Autumn Bounty” shows. These are provided for temporary use at the show. Paper
or plastic plates will be provided as appropriate for vegetable classes, exhibitors should provide
their own containers for other classes. Staging tables will be provided and water will be available
on site for all exhibits.
9. Due care will be taken of the exhibitor’s property, but the Society will not be responsible for any
loss or damages. In particular, please do not use containers/accessories of intrinsic value.
10. An exhibitor must not touch or move the entries of other exhibitors. The show chair will shift en-
tries where necessary for spacing.
11. Plant material must be free of pests, disease and other insects, or the exhibit will be removed to
avoid contamination with other entries.

R u l e s f o r H o r t i c u l t u r a l C l a s s e s :
1. Exhibits must have been grown by the exhibitor.
2. An exhibit entered in the wrong class, or containing the wrong number of specimens, or con-
taining material other than that specified, will not be judged. Exhibitors should be aware that
bud showing colour is counted as a bloom.
3. Plants growing in containers must have been in the exhibitor’s possession for at least 3 months
before the date of the show.
4. Plant material must not be dyed, tinted or painted. Cedar, or other material may be used incon-
spicuously (not showing above the top of the vase) to better present flowers for judging. Only
the plants own foliage may be visible.
5. Foliage must not be oiled or shined.
6. In flower classes designated as “floating”, flowers should float freely if possible.
7. When a class requires multiple blooms/stems, a proportion of the points given is for uniformity.
In the case of a “collection”, the class schedule gives precise specifications.
8. Exhibitors are asked to name varieties, if known, on their entry tags. This is for educational pur-
poses only.
9. Plants can only be entered once in a competition season.
10. House plants should be viewed and judged from all sides for form, shape and symmetry
(uniformity of growth).
11. Containers should be of proper size for the plant, clean and in good repair.
12. No endangered, invasive or noxious plant species are permitted in any class, especially Dog-
strangling Vine (Pale Swallowwort), Black Dog–strangling Vine (Black Swallowwort), Japanese
Knotweed and Phragmites (European Common Reed). For more information please check
online: www.invadingspecies.com. For a current list of endangered species refer to
www.registrelep-sararegistry.gc.ca and www.ontario.ca/environment-and-energy/species-risk-

R u l e s G o v e r n i n g F l o w e r S h o w C o m p e t i t i o n s
R u l e s f o r D e s i g n C l a s s e s :
1. The exhibitor must have arranged all designs.
2. Material for the Design Division may be obtained from any source. Fresh plant material must be
predominant unless otherwise stated.
3. No artificial plant material is allowed unless schedule specifies.
4. Unless a particular class schedule says otherwise:
• Designs are to be viewed from one side only.
• Width and front-to-back depth must not exceed 75 cm (30”)
• Fresh plant material in exhibits must not be dyed, tinted or painted.
• Dried plant material and decorative wood may be painted.
• Accessories, including decorative gravel, stones, etc. are permitted.
• Soil is not permitted.
5. In all design classes, a portion of the judge’s marks will be based on interpretation of the title.
We judge on a 5 point system:
• First place gets 5 points
• Second place gets 4 points
• Third place gets 3 points
• Fourth place gets 2 points, and is also considered an honourable mention.
• All other entries in a given class get 1 point for entering.
We award ribbons for first through third places. As stated before, judges are not required to award
any placement they feel is unqualified for. In the “Joys of June” and “Autumn Bounty” shows,
Judges are asked to award, where merited, Judges Choice and Best in Show in each division.
Judges Choice must be selected from first place winners, and get 10 extra points on their show
total. Best In Show should be chosen as being an exhibit “notable in some aspect”. These will also
earn 10 extra points for the exhibitor.
