The Men’s Garden Club of Youngstown hosted their annual horticulture show on Aug. 20 and 21 at Fellows Riverside Gardens.
The annual horticulture show displays the different plants, fruits and vegetables the members of the MGCY and other community members have been working on throughout the summer. Several of the plants, fruits and vegetables that were on display have won awards in previous garden competitions.
Judges who were certified by the MGCA National Office were at the show to judge the different plants and award them based on different categories. There were awards for each section and the winners from the sectional awards would be considered for Best of Show, a Sweepstakes Award and a Presidential Award.
Registration for the show was open to anyone who is interested in growing plants and maintaining a garden. Entries for judging were accepted Saturday morning and anyone who was late could still put their plant on display, but will not be up for judging. There was a youth category for anyone who was 16-years-old or younger to enter what they have been growing.
Judging began Saturday morning and continues through Sunday afternoon. The judges would then add up their scores and announce all of the winners Sunday afternoon before the show finished.
The two-day show was open to the public for anyone to come and look at all of the items being displayed. Those who came to view also had the opportunity to purchase a variety of plants to take home with them.
