GCA Zone III Flower Show

It was a privilege for Allyn’s Creek Garden Club to co-host the 2019 Garden Club of America Zone III (New York State) Flower Show, in conjunction with the Rochester Garden Club. The Ripple Effect took place on June 21-21 at The Strahallan Rochester Hotel Century Club, 566 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607. 

“The purpose of a flower show is threefold: to set standards of artistic and horticultural excellence; to broaden knowledge of horticulture, floral design, conservation, photography and related disciplines; and to share the beauty of a show with fellow club members and with the public.” (The GCA Flower Show and Judging Guide, July 2018 Edition)
