Flower Show Symposiums
NGC courses are open to everyone. Members may earn credit toward becoming an Environmental, Gardening, or Landscape Design Consultant or a Flower Show Judge, while accredited Consultants and Judges can refresh their credentials. Many Master Gardener volunteers also attend for continuing education credits.
Symposium is an advanced study program focused on flower show design, horticulture, and related topics beyond Flower Show School coursework. Visit the Symposium page for details, or the Flower Show School page to learn more about becoming a Flower Show Judge.
