2024 NGC Flower Show
Don’t miss out !!
Scroll below for links to the Registration form, Activities, Flower Show Schedule, and entry tags.
Because this is a special year for WSFGC, the endowment committee is subsidising each garden club member $100 for their registration fee. That means garden club members pay $75.00 rather than $175.00. That includes the special 90th birthday dinner on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, lunch and dinner. Also included are all the workshops that are offered, free, to registered members.
We are all state members and are welcomed and encouraged to participate in the flower show, “Our Extraordinary Earth”. It will be a beautiful show and we need members to do designs and bring horticulture. The majority of our members will probably have something growing out of the 7 sections and 32 classes of horticulture. Everyone enjoys showing off their garden beauties or challenging their design skills. It is also fun to just view a flower show too?
Event Schedule:
- June 10 Flower Show set-up
- June 11 Flower Show (open to the public from 3:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.), entries, member meetings & 90th Anniversary Dinner Celebration.

Fall in Love with Flower Shows Schedule
Show Notes from Linda White
Hello East Lake Washington District of Garden Clubs!!
It is finally finished, the Schedule for our upcoming District Flower Show in
September. Now we can all plan the Horticulture we can enter (and keep it
watered), choose a Design to enter and get creative, enter a fun Artistic Craft or
enter a beautiful Photograph and maybe even get your kids or grandkids to
enter the Youth section with a decorated pumpkin. It will be a fun show with
many visitors at the beautiful Bellevue Botanical Garden.
We really need people from every club to participate to make it a “GREAT!”
show. The show committee is working very hard to make this a success. We are
so fortunate to have this show in such a beautiful public space. Let’s show off
ELWD and all of our clubs! Enter the show and you too will “FALL in Love with
Flower Shows”. If I sound excited it is because I am.
Let’s Keep Blooming,
Linda White, ELWD Director
