Parlour Show
The Parlour Show is held each month as part of regular meetings of the Cowichan Valley Garden Club. Its purpose is to encourage participation and learning in exhibiting horticultural entries and floral design. It is intended to be a light-hearted competition to develop skills and confidence in exhibiting as well as offering contributions to the Spring Flower Show. All members are encouraged to enter exhibits in as many categories as possible.
The Schedule of categories for the upcoming year will be posted on the Website after the December Club Meeting. There will be a Printable (PDF) file also posted on the Website. (A printed copy may be requested from anyone of the Parlour Show Committee: Sherry Deptuch, Tanis Bapty, Melanie Marjoram, Janice Norris, Karen Wade).
