At the Temecula Community Recreation Center
30875 Rancho Vista Road, Temecula
It is with great pleasure that the Temecula Valley Garden Club (TVGC) presents its 36th Flower Show and Plant Sale. This year’s theme, America the Beautiful: From Sea to Shining Sea, was chosen to honor the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding and to celebrate the extraordinary diversity and beauty found in its natural and cultivated environments.
Each section of the Horticulture Division is named for a location within the United States where exemplary plant varieties represented in that section may be found. In the Design Division, each section and class is inspired by a distinctive American location, providing a creative framework that sparks imagination and artistic expression among participating designers.
New this year is an Education Division, created to inform members and the public about the mission and objectives of National Garden Clubs, Inc. This division highlights national, state, and community projects supported or undertaken by TVGC, underscoring the club’s commitment to education, conservation, and community service.
All exhibits in the show will be judged by accredited judges certified by National Garden Clubs, Inc. Presentation of awards will take place at 12:00 noon in the main auditorium, and TVGC members and show visitors are warmly invited to attend.
Flower shows of this size and caliber represent a significant undertaking. Members of TVGC have devoted countless hours to preparing this event for the enjoyment of our community. We extend our sincere gratitude to these dedicated members for their enthusiasm and tireless effort, and we are deeply appreciative of the continued support and encouragement of California Garden Clubs, Inc.
Most especially, we thank YOU—whether exhibitor or guest—for your role in making the TVGC Flower Show and Plant Sale such a success. If you have an interest in gardening, floral design, or the conservation of native environments and wildlife, we invite you to consider becoming a member of TVGC.
