For a century, students have been a part of the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society’s annual flower shows. This year, more than 50 students entered their horticultural exhibits and design exhibits in the flower show.
In the youth design category depicting the 100th birthday celebration of Oreo cookies, students in Cope Middle School’s Garden Club won top ribbons with their black-and-white table settings and accompanying colorful floral design entries.
In addition, the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society’s 100th annual flower show included display boards highlighting school garden projects from Crafton, Cram, Highland Grove, Kimberly, Mariposa and McKinley elementary schools; Beattie, Clement and Cope middle schools; Orangewood and Redlands high schools; and Arrowhead Christian Academy, the Grove School, Micah House, Montessori of Redlands, Sacred Heart Academy, Valley Preparatory School, Barton House Playschool and the University of Redlands LaFourcade Community Garden.
School gardening projects were also presented by Arroyo Verde, Bryn Mawr, Franklin and Lugonia elementary schools.
