Important Notes:

1. Read the Schedule rules carefully.
2. Flowers must be bright and fresh. Well conditioned flowers will hold for several days.
3. In floral art your plant material can be grown by the individual exhibitor, bought or borrowed.
4. If an entry states “No Restrictions” manipulation of plant material is allowed. Use of accessories, bases, drapes, decorative wiring, dried, dyed or painted materials all allowed but must not predominate.
5. Never rely on accessories alone to interpret your theme. The plant material, choice of line, colours and textures are your best tools. Nevertheless a well chosen accessory of high quality well integrated into the design could add to the beauty of the display. Flowers should always dominate.
