This year, keeping with the theme The Flower City Blooms Again, each display was to feature something unique to Rochester. In past GardenScapes, my bonsai were displayed in garden settings. The Bonsai Society of Upstate New York won two awards for “best garden or display with educational value for the gardening public” and for the “most entertaining display for the gardening public.” Their display was next to mine so half of an entire wall featured bonsai. To raise the level of horticultural entertainment and education by rewarding imagination, creativity and the highest quality execution at GardenScape. The GardenScape Competition Mission Statement: Two or three teams consisting of landscapers, garden designers and horticulturists carefully evaluate each garden display and present many awards to worthy entries. I presented two seminars on “Stone Appreciation” and “Horticultural Art Forms Of Japan.Įach year nursery and horticulture professionals from outside the region judge the garden displays. Several seminars are presented throughout the four day event. This year’s theme is “The Flower City Blooms Again.” GardenScape is presented by the GardenScape Professionals Association, a not-for-profit organization whose proceeds will help to benefit the association’s many educational and public service efforts, and by the Professional Landscape and Nursery Trades of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region. The Bonsai Society of Upstate New York has also displayed in each show. I have been fortunate to have displayed bonsai, in every GardenScape and I’m the last of the original exhibitors. This is the 22 nd presentation of GardenScape, but there has been a gap of six years since the last show because the Dome was not available. GardenScape showcases the most unique designs, display, plants and products for the attendees. Top landscape companies from around the area transformed the Dome into a living garden paradise. It is held at the newly remodeled dome in Henrietta, New York, a suburb of Rochester. GardenScape 2018 is the annual flower and garden show in Rochester, New York, which runs from March 8-11, 2018.
