2010 Flower Show

The 2010 Standard Flower Show "Village Vistas" was a huge success and the judges had many complimentary comments on the designs, horticulture, educational exhibits and staging. More than 220 were in attendance to see 40 floral designs, 152 horticulture specimens and three educational exhibits.

Again the Bella Vista Garden Club has won State, Regional and National Awards for this Standard Flower Show from the National Garden Clubs, Inc. This is the fourth consecutive flower show presented by the Bella Vista Garden Club that has been so honored, which is unprecedented.

The club thanks General Chairman, Mary Doyle, and all the dedicated members for an excellent show. Also thanks go to the Bella Vista Community Church, Lowe’s, From the Ground Up Nursery, Village Home Center and Village Insurance for their contributions to make this such a successful show.
