The club members participate in three flower shows:  an In-House Flower Show, the Longwood Flower Show, and the Philadelphia Flower Show.   
​
The purpose of a flower show is to:
  • set standards of artistic and horticultural excellence,
  • broaden knowledge of horticulture, flower arrangement, conservation, and other related areas, and 
  • share the beauty of a show with fellow club members and the public. 

Flower shows combine artistic vision, horticultural mastery, engineering, and sophisticated craftsmanship to create a brief but brilliant display of beauty in time. 

​Refer to the National Garden Club's Handbook for Flower Shows
