3 SHOW TABLE REMINDER: Show table judging begins at 1:00 PM. To have your plants recognized for judging they must be on the Show Table, with the entry cards by 1 PM. Skip Vandegraft, our photographer, suggests that attention to placement of supports, clips, etc. has multiple benefits, including enhancing the appearance of your plants, increasing the chances of being awarded, and also reduces the need for retouching by the photographer.
