Dear Friends, The Newport Flower Show is pleased to celebrate its 20th year as America’s premier summer flower show, held on the historic grounds of Rosecliff. This year’s theme American Beauty – Timeless Style celebrates not only this impressive milestone but also the treasured traditions of our uniquely American culture. Steeped in history and style, this show promises to be the very definition of American Beauty. Joining us will be the award-winning designer, Jane Godshalk . Jane has been the designated representative from the United States to the world’s most prestigious design competitions, including Chelsea and WAFA. She also leads the Floral Design program at Longwood Gardens (DE). Sharing her skills as well as her new book, I am sure you will agree that Jane’s style is absolutely timeless! And, what can be a more iconic and beautiful American garden than Thomas Jefferson’s historic Monticello! Charged with its stewardship for nearly four decades as Head Gardener, Peter J. Hatch will share the growth of this uniquely American garden and the founder’s vision of American Beauty . Joining us again this year is P. Allen Smith, the award winning designer, gardening and lifestyle expert who will share Timeless Tips for containers! As always, our Horticultural Division aspires to engage gardeners at all levels, inspiring them to share their own vision of American Beauty. The Photography Division will showcase Timeless Style captured in images by amateur photographers. The Children’s Division will encourage our youngest gardeners as they dig deeply into American traditions and style. The expansive front lawn of Rosecliff will be transformed into The White City as an homage to the architects of the 1893 World Exposition as well as the creators of Rosecliff. As always, shopping at the Oceanside Boutiques and the Gardener’s Marketplace are a much anticipated Newport tradition. The Opening Night Party will launch the summer season in Newport with a cocktail buffet, live music and a casual supper surrounded by the beautiful display gardens on the front lawn and other exciting surprises. Our presenting sponsor, Bartlett Tree Experts, has been a long and valued friend of The Newport Flower Show. Not only do they carefully tend the 88 acres of the Preservation Society’s landscapes and gardens, but it is because of their support that all monies raised through The Newport Flower Show are dedicated to the ongoing restoration and mainte - nance of the Preservation Society’s grounds. On behalf of our talented exhibitors, tireless volunteers, wonderful vendors and valued sponsors, we invite you to Newport the weekend of June 19-21, 2015, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Newport Flower Show on the grounds of Rosecliff, where the most iconic American flower was cultivated: the American Beauty rose. Patricia Hamilton Fernandez Chair P.S. There can be nothing more lovely than beginning your summer with Timeless Style on the lawns of Rosecliff by moonlight. Optimize your Opening Night Party experience by signing up for the Enchanted Evening Rose package featuring a luxurious supper in a most unique setting. 2015 Newport Flower Show | 1 Presenting Sponsor: BARTLETT TREE EXPERTS CHAIR EMERITUS CONTENTS Awards – Newport Flower Show .
