Presentation by Terry Holman on how to exhibit horticulture and win blue ribbons at the upcoming Standard Flower Show celebrating Maryland's Eastern Shore, scheduled for June 18th.
The presentation covered essential aspects of flower show participation, including how to obtain exhibitor numbers from Pam Keeton, proper plant identification using binomial names, conditioning techniques using hot water methods, and staging specimens in appropriate containers.

The presentation included detailed guidance on transportation tips and included a Q&A session.
