SGVOH Ribbon Judging Guidelines Members have been bringing lots of beautiful plants. You should know you have two places the display your plants: (1) If the plant has been owned for 6 months or more, the plant can be put on the Judging Display Tables. (2) If the plant has been owned for less than 6 months, it may be displayed on the New Arrivals Display Tables. These plants will not be judged, but the owner will receive a raffle ticket for each plant displayed here. Any member who has grown their plants for longer than 6 months and would like to display them on the New Arrivals Table is welcome to do so. Any plant that was awarded a Ribbon should not be brought back for judging until it blooms again. |
