"Garden News" Top Vase Class
"GARDEN NEWS" TOP VASE CLASS RULES 2009
1. The Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering stems containing a total of between
5 and 10, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plants. Please note that it is two different KINDS of plants; two varieties of the same plant are NOT two kinds.
2. The display is judged out of a total of 35 points, split into:-
25 points for the colour, form, condition, quality, and freshness of the flowers on display, and 10 points for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase. The vase will be viewed from all directions.
Judging of the flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes.
3. Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only; no seed heads or berries will be allowed.
4. The vase can be any shape and size and made from any material but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself.
5. No accessories such as bows and additional foliage will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still attached to that stem is allowed. Packing material - including florists' foam - to keep the stems in place is allowed.
6.. The winner of the "Garden news" Top Vase class will receive a Garden News certificate plus a £10 Mr. Fothergill's seed voucher. The runner-up will receive a £5 Mr. Fothergill's seed voucher. Third place will receive a £3 Mr. Fothergill's seed voucher. These vouchers are for use by December 31 2009, with any seed order - non-seed products cannot be purchased with the vouchers. and the vouchers are valid for mail order only.
NOTES FOR EXHIBITORS
Flowering stems can be taken from ANY flowering plant.
The different kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For instance, pinks, carnations, and sweet william - which are all dianthus - would not be classed as different kinds.
Use only fresh, home-grown flowers. No dried or silk flowers allowed.
A vase, by definition, is any vessel that can be used to hold cut flowers and which is taller than it is wide at its widest point.
The Garden News Top Vase class is open for anyone to enter and is not intended purely for growers who regularly display single species classes at shows.
