Dear Friends, Do you remember your first trip to Disney World? Or visiting the Magic Kingdom with a daughter or grandson? What little girl has not dressed up as a Disney princess for at least one special party? A little boy who has not wielded a sword to slay a fire-breathing dragon? From Snow White to Anna, from Prince Charming to Nemo, Disney’s heroes and heroines have captivated generations with laughter, joy and wonder. The source of all this magic was Walter Elias Disney, an American icon whose creativity and vision have garnered dozens of awards, millions of dollars and uncountable admirers. The Garden Club of America even honored Disney with the Frances B. Hutchinson Medal in 1954 for his conservation efforts! We are delighted to attach the schedule for “Films of Enchantment: The Legacy of Walt Disney”, a GCA Flower Show to be held June 28 and 29, 2019 at The Parrish Hall on Herrick Road in Southampton. A preview cocktail reception on Friday evening will be held to thank all garden club members who worked on the show. And we have a special luncheon planned on Saturday for the community that will feature a lecture from horticultural experts here to share secrets and tips from Disney World in Orlando. You’ll hear more about these events in the coming months. As you will note when you read the schedule, the classes for each division take their inspiration from one of Disney’s 56 animated feature films. From Floral Design and Horticulture to Photography and Botanical Arts, you are sure to find something to entice you. We hope you will be motivated to enter one class or several – and be inspired by the magic of Disney! Fondly, Laurie Carson & Cindy Willis, Flower Show Chairmen The Southampton Garden Club “Films of Enchantment: The Legacy of Walt Disney” A Garden Club of America Flower Show presented by The Southampton Garden Club June 28 & 29, 2019 1 The Southampton Garden Club a member of The Garden Club of America presents “Films of Enchantment: The Legacy of Walt Disney” A Garden Club of America Flower Show June 28 & 29, 2019 Parrish Memorial Hall 235 Herrick Road Southampton, NY 11968 Open to the Public June 29, 2019 11:00 to 4:00 pm Admission free of charge 2 The purpose of a flower show is threefold: to set standards of artistic and horticultural excellence; to broaden knowledge of horticulture, floral design, conservation, photography and other related areas; and to share the beauty of a show with fellow club members and with the public. The Garden Club of America Flower Show and Judging Guide, 2018 The purpose of The Garden Club of America is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening; to share the advantage of association by means of educational meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications; and to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement. 3 Walt Disney, 1901-1966 “If you can dream it, you can do it!” A pioneer of the American animation industry, Walter Elias Disney was an entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer. He holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. In total, Disney and his subsequent film affiliate companies and distributors have released over 700 movies. In the 1950s, Disney expanded into the amusement park industry, opening Disneyland in California in 1955. Though dying before realizing his dream at Disneyworld in Florida, he remains an American cultural icon. Disney was recognized by The Garden Club of America in 1954 with the Frances K. Hutchinson Medal for his ‘contribution in publicizing conservation, as demonstrated by such films as ‘Beaver Valley’, ‘Nature’s Half Acre’ and others.” Each of the 5 divisions of our flower show draws inspiration from the titles of his full-length animated movies – and each class includes a short description of the movie as it relates to the class. Some classes also include a definition from the GCA Flower Show & Judging Guide, 2018 as appropriate to aid the exhibitors. 4 Table of Contents Timetable for Exhibitors Page 6 Flower Show Committee Page 7 GCA Rules Page 8 General Information Page 9 Division I Floral Design Guidelines Page 11 Floral Design Classes Page 12 Division II Horticulture Guidelines Page 15 Horticulture Classes Page 16 Division III Photography Guidelines Page 19 Photography Classes Page 21 Division IV Botanical Arts Guidelines Page 22 Botanical Arts Classes Page 23 Division V Conservation & Education Exhibit Page 24 GCA Flower Show Awards Page 25 Southampton Garden Club Trophies Page 28 Registration Forms Page 29 Entry Forms Page 33 5 Timetable for Exhibitors December 1, 2018 Photography – Registration opens for Southampton Garden Club members January 1, 2019 Photography – Registration opens for all GCA members January 1, 2019 Horticulture – Six-month ownership deadline April 1, 2019 Horticulture – Three-month ownership deadline April 1, 2019 All Divisions – Registration Deadline March 15, 2019 Photography – First date when printed photographs may be received April 20, 2019 Botanical Arts – First date when botanical arts entries may be received May 1, 2019 Photography – Deadline for receiving entries, either mailed or hand delivered June 1, 2019 Botanical Arts – Deadline for receiving entries, if mailed June 1, 2019 Photography — Passing Friday, June 28, 2019 10:30 am – 1:30 pm Floral Design, Horticulture & Botanical Arts entries accepted and passed 1:00 – 2:00 pm Judges’ Luncheon and Briefing 2:00 pm Judging Begins 4:00 pm Flower Show Evaluation 6:00 – 8:00 pm Preview & Cocktail Reception Saturday, June 29, 2019 9:00 – 10:00 am Refreshing & maintenance of exhibits 10:00 am – 3:30 pm Show open to the public 12:30 – 2:00 pm Lecture & Luncheon 3:45 – 5:00 pm All entries must be removed 6 Flower Show Committee Co-Chairmen: Laurie Carson: lcarson112@aol.com Cindy Willis: cindywillisgca@gmail.com Honorary Chairman: Huguette Hersch SGC President: Barbara Glatt: bpglatt@gmail.com Schedule: Lydia Wallis: lydiapbw@optonline.net Cindy Willis: cindywillisgca@gmail.com Judges, Clerks & Passing: Lydia Wallis: lydiapbw@optonline.net Christl Meszkat: christl.meszkat@gmail.com Awards: Melanie Wambold: mwambold@gmail.com Linda Fraser: lflawyer@aol.com Flower Show Division Chairs & Class Consultants: I.
