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 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

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.

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.

The movie was the first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It ended up winning Best Song and Best Original Score in addition to a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture. In 1994, it became Disney’s first animated film to be adapted for the Broadway stage.

The movie won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated in three other categories.

Division V: Conservation & Education Exhibit

The Lion King (1994)

This conservation and education exhibit examines how an individual’s landscaping choices impact the local environment. As the start of a Southampton Garden Club ‘Plant This, Not That’ initiative, the exhibit aims to demonstrate to its audience the easy plant substitutions that can be made when gardening and landscaping so as to feed the local ecosystem. The goal is to provide environmentally beneficial alternatives to common landscape choices and show that an indigenous approach to horticulture can care for and nurture the ‘circle of life’. It also explores the various avenues of sharing the message with the community so that it can be easily recalled and shared with friends and neighbors.

nd ‘The Lion King” is Disney’s 32 animated film and features original songs by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice. It opened to overwhelming critical and popular acclaim, garnered two Academy Awards for music and a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture. It was adapted for the Broadway stage in 1997 where it is still running. ‘The Lion King’ remains the highest-grossing traditionally animated film of all time and is also the highest-grossing Broadway show of all time. The story takes place amongst a pride of lions in Africa and is loosely based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Simba, a young lion, is meant to succeed his father Mufasa as King of the Pride Lands. His Uncle Scar, however, has other plans. He murders Mufasa and blames the young Simba for the death. After years of adventures, Simba returns to challenge Scar and assume his rightful place as King in the Circle of Life.

Note: The Conservation Exhibit will be judged according to Section XVIII on pg. 155 of the GCA Flower Show and Judging Guide, 2018.

Challenge class entries are not eligible. The award is not a substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the judges.

The Harriet DeWaele Puckett Creativity Award may be awarded to members of GCA clubs or non- members in recognition of a uniquely skillful and creative response to an imaginative schedule in Floral Design. It will be given for an innovative and interpretive entry, which, although it abides by the principles of good design, goes beyond traditional period arrangement to whatever art form the exhibitor(s) chooses. The design must have placed first, second, or third in the Floral Design Division of a GCA Flower Show. An entry in any challenge class is not eligible to receive this award. The award is not a substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the judges.

The exhibitor must have owned and grown the exhibit for at least six months. The medal may be awarded for a single plant, collection of plants, container garden, or cut specimen, but only if there is an exhibit worthy of the honor. It may be awarded to members of GCA clubs only; individual, joint, and club entries are eligible. The award should not be considered as a substitute for Best in Show. The medal may not be awarded to the same exhibit more than once; however, offspring of a Beattie winner are eligible to receive the award.

The entry must have been propagated and grown by the exhibitor for at least six months. This award may be given for a single rooted plant or a collection of rooted plants.
