The Garden Center

Do you love to garden? Come join us and exhibit your flowers, vegetables and fruits.  Both adults and children are encouraged to enter exhibits.  There are an abundance of categories to enter; vegetables, cut flowers, flower arrangements, house plants, herbs, bonsai, Christmas trees, canning  & preserving and many more.  Ribbons and rosettes are awarded at the judges’ discretion. For the third year, there is even a Professional  flower arranging category.

On August 23rd, between 8:00am and 8:00pm competitors bring their exhibits to the Expo North building. Our friendly staff will help you to register your exhibits for judging and display. The first judging takes place on Saturday, August 24th.

For the children’s vegetable competition, we offer a Face-to-Face judging on Saturday, August 24th.This judging provides our youngest gardeners with useful harvesting and exhibiting tips.

To rejuvenate our Flower display, we hold a 2nd Flowers Only  judging on Thursday, Aug 29th. If you missed the first flower judging, this is your opportunity to enter those beautiful flowers growing in your garden.

The Expo North building is also the home of the giant sandcastle and giant pumpkins. Feel free to contact Michelle Perry, Superintendent, if you have any questions. We are confident that once you start exhibiting at the Fair, you will continue for years to come.  Come and join the fun!
