Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SHOW

Open, Non‑Judged Exhibition at Reiman Gardens

Hosted by the Ames Garden Club at Reiman Gardens, the Flower Show is intentionally non-competitive and open to all exhibitors, a setting designed for sharing work and learning rather than judging.

THE ENTRY

Apply by June 18; Drop Off on June 26

Applications must be submitted by midnight on June 18; entries are dropped off the day before the show during the specified window so displays are ready for the public opening.

THE COMMUNITY

A Learning‑Centered Garden Gathering

The show emphasizes education and exchange — an opportunity to learn new tips, compare specimens with neighbors, and celebrate garden pride in a welcoming environment.

What the day feels like

What Attending Feels Like

The Flower Show unfolds as a daylong celebration: after an advance drop-off window, the display fills the gardens for visitors to tour between 9 AM and 4 PM on June 27, with an emphasis on informal learning, community conversation, and sharing horticultural successes.
