Seasonal Events
Regional Home + Garden Shows – plus County and State Fairs
You Have the blooms, We Have the rose Shows
I know – let’s put on a show
Each year we have displays or booths at many venues in Tacoma, where Member growers & arrangers strut their stuff. Often, a group of regional ARS judges visit each table in the show, agree on the quality of each entry, and decide on a best-in-class winner.
A certificates or ribbon is handed out to the winners at the end of the day, as a memento of their hard work.
Here are some of the venues we participate in during the growing season.
The senses will run wild among the scents and colors that abound in the Fair floral exhibits. Our Members bring many different varieties of their prize winning garden roses that are judged by the Fair Staff.
We are often asked for daily demonstrations to provide insight in how to cultivate roses as well as creative arrangement ideas.
We run a booth for homeowners looking for quick rose guidance during the show. Sometimes, we also provide a main stage presentation or how-to clinic on general rose subjects. The Tacoma Home + Garden Show is always a fun gathering for all kinds of home improvement inspiration and advice, not just ours.
Like the Tacoma Home + Garden Show, we run a booth at this county fair to answer questions from local homeowners and their families who are looking for quick rose guidance during the show. Sometimes, we will do a main stage presentation or how-to clinic on general rose subjects like diseases or pruning.
