FLOWER SHOWS
NEWPORT FLOWER SHOW
Presented by The Preservation Society of Newport County
Annually near the end of June
The Preservation Society of Newport County was begun in 1945 with the goal to preserve and restore the Newport mansions and gardens.
In 1995 the Newport Flower Show was created as a fundraising event by PSNC. It has evolved and grown into one of the most renowned flower shows, acknowledged by both the Garden Club of America and the National Garden Clubs.
Floral designers and horticulturalists from Worcester Garden Club have been participating for many years as exhibitors and committee members. Rosecliff Mansion is the venue with some exceptions.
Here are some photos of WGC exhibitors in the Floral Design Division and Horticulture Division from over the years. (The list is not complete, and the Botanical Arts Division has been neglected.)
