The Plymouth Garden Club recently participated in the Southeast Division of the Garden Federation of Massachusetts “Adventures in Space” Standard Flower Show during the Barnstable Fair, which was held July 21-28, with two days for participants to enter the design divisions and horticulture.
In the design division on the first entry day, June Aronson and Gerri Williams won a second prize in their design classes. The Plymouth Garden Club’s entry in the club competition, a temporary garden designed by Gretchen Moran, Gail Anderson, Norene Casey and Sara Tallman, won second prize with a 90-plus score (equivalent to a first prize).
The second entry day, Joanne Nikitas won a second prize with a 90-plus score and Jean Dobachesky and Pat Parker received third in their classes.
In the horticulture division, Gerri Williams won 22 blue ribbons for her horticulture specimens, 11 on each entry day, for her Stargazer lilies, which also won the award of merit, the award of horticultural excellence and the Roberta Clark award for outstanding horticultural quality. Her lisianthus also won an award of merit.
Jean Dobachesky won two second-place ribbons and Pat Parker won two blue ribbons and two second-place ribbons in horticulture.
