FOREWORD

Canada Blooms co-chairs, Celia Roberts and Janet Ennamorato, are

delighted to introduce the 2018 Canada Blooms Festival, entitled “Let’s

Go to the Movies!”, honouring one of Toronto’s featured industries – the

film industry. This theme allows garden builders, garden designers and

floral artists the scope to demonstrate their creativity as they interpret

“Let’s Go to the Movies!” through their exciting outdoor spaces and floral

displays. Our desire for colour and fragrance after a long winter will be

satisfied by the wonderful colours and sights in the gardens and the flower

show, previews of Spring.

In response to the increasing number of people living in condominiums

and apartments, Canada Blooms is introducing six Balcony Gardens this

year. To showcase the most reliable and outstanding plants available from

growers, we are pleased to present the 2018 Plant Of the Year – in fact,

there are actually three! The Annual of the Year is Petunia Supertunia

“Bordeaux”; the Perennial of the year is Heuchera Primo ‘Black Pearl’ and

the Landscape Plant of the Year is Weigela “Spilled Wine”. They are worthy

of your consideration as you plan your 2018 garden.

The Toronto Flower Show, presented by the Garden Club of Toronto and its

members, brings non-professional exhibitors and members of horticultural

societies and garden clubs from across the province and around the world

to the show to display their floral artistry and horticultural expertise.

Enjoy the workshops and fabulous speakers on the UNILOCK Celebrity

Stage. Fan favourites Mark Cullen, Paul Zammit and Denis Flanagan share

their wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for gardening and the

protection of the environment. A host of speakers will entertain and

educate us as we learn new tips and trends.

In 2017, USA Today and Conde Nast named Canada Blooms in their list of

Top 10 Garden Shows in the world! Canada Blooms was named the top

Canadian Garden Festival!

The staff and the Board of Canada Blooms wish to thank the talented

designers and builders of gardens, world-renowned floral artists, growers

extraordinaire, and the army of wonderful volunteers for making these

accolades possible. We are very excited about this year’s show and hope

you enjoy the celebration of “Let’s Go To The Movies!”.

6. The decision of the Judges is final.

HORTICULTURE & SPECIAL EXHIBIT COMPETITION

RULES

Regulations and judging standards

1. General Regulations (pages 7, 8), Judging Criteria (page 9) and The

Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture and Floral

Design, 2003 edition, (OJES) will govern.

Possession

2. All plants exhibited must have been grown by the exhibitor for at least

3 months prior to March 9, 2018, except in the Special Exhibit

Classes. All bulbs and branches must be forced by exhibitor in classes

15, 16, 17 and 18.

Forms

3. Horticulture and Special Exhibit Registration Forms and Entry Forms

the Canada Blooms Offices. They are also available on line at

canadablooms.com and may be downloaded or filled out online. All

10

completed forms must be legible, accurate and neatly printed in

BLOCK LETTERS.

a) Registration Forms must be received by the Registrar by Monday

March 5, 2018. Please email or mail registration forms to the

Garden Club of Toronto office. See inside back cover for

information on addresses and numbers.

Special Exhibits must be pre-registered with the listed class

convenor. Pre‐registration of horticultural entries is strongly

encouraged but not required (it is faster to delete an entry on

entry day than to enter new data). Exhibitors may register any

additional entries in the horticultural classes on site on ENTRY

DAY.

b) Entry Forms must be printed clearly and include the exhibitor’s

name, class number and plant names/lists using both botanical

and common names of specimens were applicable. Entry forms

accompany exhibits on entry day. The entry card on display during

the show is prepared from the information provided on this form.

Entries

4. Exhibitors may have up to THREE entries per class in the Horticulture

Division, as long as they are different species or cultivar of a species.

Exhibitors may have only ONE entry per class in the Special Exhibits

Division.

5. Exhibitors may have no more than 30 entries in total. Each entry must

be accompanied by its own Entry Form.

6. Plant lists: A plant list is required for classes that permit two or more

species or cultivars. Botanical and common names must be included

on the entry card and ALSO on a 10 cm x 15 cm (4”x 6”) index card.

7. Should the exhibitor require the watering/ grooming committee to

care for an exhibit during the show, the exhibitor must attach

instructions including watering requirements and any special needs to

the entry form. The water/grooming committee will be notified of

these needs.

8. Exhibitors may enter horticultural classes on 1st and 2nd entry days,

provided each is completely different from the previous species or

cultivar exhibited. Special Exhibits must contain completely different

plant material than any of the plant material used previously in the

show this year.

9. Where a class exists for a special type or variety of specimen, a

specimen entry must be exhibited in that class, e.g. ferns must be

11

exhibited in a fern class. The Novice Class 21 and Provisional Class

22 are exempt from this rule. Classes 23, 24 and 25 are also exempt.

10. Potted plants may have more than one stem if it is characteristic of

the cultivar, e.g. Hedera helix. Specimen plants may have only one

rooted stem, e.g. Azalea or Rosemarinus officinalis.

11. No accessories are permitted in horticultural classes unless otherwise

stated. Accessories are permitted in MOST Special Exhibit classes.

12. Topdressing is not mandatory but may be used at the discretion of the

exhibitor and where appropriate. Unobtrusive staking is permitted in

horticultural classes. No “training rings” are permitted for Saintpaulia

14. A member of the Classification Team must initial each Entry Form

entry if it is not considered to be of show quality, or not free from

pests and disease.

15. Please Note: No competitors will be allowed to groom or water their

entries after they are placed on the show floor until judging has been

HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE HORTICULTURAL

COMPETITIONS

Please check Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture

and Floral Design, 2003 edition, also known as OJES.

The following are a few of the criteria the judges take into consideration

when judging:

When there is more than one specimen of the same cultivar in an

entry, the judge looks for uniformity in size, form, colour and stage of

development as well as cultural perfection.

Freshness of material, along with the proportion of the stem to the

cultivar and condition of the foliage, where applicable, are looked at

carefully.

Floriferousness refers to the abundance of flowers on the entire plant.

The quality of colour and size, as well as the number of flowers, is of

importance.

Good condition and grooming are important, and all entries must be

free of pests and disease. Any damaged foliage should be carefully

removed so that it does not affect the overall appearance of the

exhibit.

It is important for the exhibitor to check in Ontario Judging and

Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture and Floral Design (2003 edition),

for the Scale of Points for each type of exhibit, e.g. Flowering Branches

have a Scale of Points that is quite different from that for Cacti and

other Succulents. By checking in this publication, you could end up

with the winning entry! It is really a “must do”.

Saucers of compatible material should be brought with potted plants

and placed under them for drainage.

Reference books that might be of assistance are:

Reader's Digest A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants - Brickell, Cole,

Zuk

The Reader’s Digest Success with Houseplants

New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses – Bown

Remember to read your schedule carefully – it is the law of the show.

Horticultural and Special Exhibit Entries 2018

You will need to complete two types of forms, available from Garden Club

of Toronto monthly shows, or downloaded from either the Garden Club of

Toronto website: www.thegardencluboftoronto.ca, or the Canada Blooms

website: www.canadablooms.com.

1. Horticultural & Special Exhibit Registration Form (1 per exhibitor)

This form may be completed and submitted for pre-registration by

March 6, 2018, or you may register on-site during the entry times. The

form must contain the exhibitors’ name and club affiliation, if any.

This form lists all the entries you are submitting for both entry days. A

copy of this form will be available at the registration desk on the show

floor, and this information will have been entered into the show

database if you have pre-registered. All Special Exhibit entries must

have been pre-registered. On entry days, you must notify the Entries

Convenor in the Hort office of any horticultural entries that are added

or deleted. See pages 9 and 10 for information about registration and

forms.

Entry Form (1 per entry)

This form must be attached to each entry and is not to be pre‐submitted. It allows the show committee to identify the owner of each

plant or entry until the printed forms are completed from our

database. If you are entering an “Exhibit” in Section F, G, or H you

must attach a printed list of plants with both botanical and common

names to your entry. This must be on a 10 cm (4”) x 15 cm (6”) card,

or on paper that can be cut to fit the holders placed on the show floor

with your entry.

NOTE: These forms may be copied from the form inserted in the

schedule or downloaded from the website www.canadablooms.com.

Also, they will be available on the entry days at the Registration tables.

If you have more than 10 entries, please arrive at least one hour and

a half prior to the close of entries on Wednesday March 7, 2018 and

Tuesday March 13, 2018. No entries will be allowed after that time.

Exhibitors may enter the show floor any time after 2:30 p.m. on

Wednesday March 7, 2018 to begin preparing their entries, but

entries will not be classified or accepted until 4:30 p.m.

2. Class Eligibility

There are two days for most classes, unless otherwise noted. See

Horticulture and Special Exhibits Competition Rule #8, page 10.
