Namaste
A GCA Flower Show
September 22 & 23, 2011
Wainwright House
Rye, New York
The purpose of a flower show is threefold: to set standards of artistic and
horticultural excellence; to broaden knowledge of horticulture, flower arrangement,
conservation, and other related areas; and to share the beauty of a show with
fellow club members and with the public.
–The Garden Club of America Flower Show and Judging Guide, 2009 Revised Edition
The purpose of The Garden Club of America is to stimulate the knowledge
and love of gardening; to share the advantage of association by means of
educational meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications; and to restore,
improve and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs
and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement.
Namaste
is an ancient Sanskrit greeting honoring one another.
One utters these words with hands pressed
together in front of the heart. “I honor the place in you
where the whole Universe dwells...”

The Little Garden Club of Rye was founded in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression by
a small group of enthusiastic women intent on improving their surroundings through service
to their local community. Members of The Little Garden Club of Rye share this important precept with our founders to this very day. Throughout its rich history our club has promoted the
mission of The Garden Club of America in a nurturing social setting that values our members
and promotes civic responsibility. The Little Garden Club of Rye is a not-for-profit voluntary
association of like-minded individuals focused on horticultural excellence, conservation education, artistic enrichment and civic preservation. Some of our projects include plantings at
the Rye Train Station and Post Office, the native garden at Rye Nature Center, the kitchen
garden at Knapp House and the triangle at Rockridge intersection.
Wainwright House
Wainwright House is the oldest non-profit, non-sectarian holistic educational center in the
United States whose mission is to foster spiritual growth and ethical values. It is a sanctuary
where each person can find his or her own path through programs in spiritual development,
health and healing, the arts and the social issues of our time. Built in 1931, it was a family
home for J. Mayhew Wainwright; in 1951 his only child founded Wainwright House as a multicultural, interfaith center for people of all backgrounds to discuss philosophical, spiritual
and ecological advancement of humankind.

Eating with Awareness will address the importance of the choices we make every day with
regard to the foods we eat. We will show how the benefits of growing our own and eating locally
grown foods can positively affect our environment.
Education Exhibit
Path to enlightenment
Path to Enlightenment illustrates how meditation gardens are designed
specifically to provide oases of calm and opportunities for quiet contemplation

experiences of tranquility, enlightenment and even transcendence.

GCA FLOWER SHOW AWARDS
GCA Flower Show Awards described below have been applied for and will be presented if merited.
The Harriet DeWaele Puckett Creativity Award may be awarded to members of GCA clubs or
non-members in recognition of a uniquely skillful and creative response to an imaginative schedule.
It will be given for an innovative and interpretive entry, which, although it abides by the principles of
good design, goes beyond traditional period arrangement to whatever art form the arranger(s)
chooses. The arrangement must have placed first, second, or third in the Flower Arrangement
Division of a GCA Flower Show. An entry in any challenge class is not eligible to receive this award.
The award is not a substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the judges.
The Dorothy Vietor Munger Award may be awarded to members of Garden Club of America clubs
in competitive flower arrangement classes at a GCA Flower Show. It is offered in recognition of
creative work of outstanding beauty using predominantly fresh plant material. The arrangement
must have placed first, second, or third. Challenge class entries are not eligible. The award is not a
substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the judges.
The Sandra Baylor Novice Award may be given at a GCA and a GCA Major Flower Show to an
exhibitor who is a member of a GCA club and who has never won first place in the Flower
Arrangement Division of a GCA or a GCA Major Flower Show. It shall be awarded to an individual
novice exhibitor for a unique and skillful response to the schedule. Novice entries placing first,
second, or third in any competitive class, including challenge classes, are eligible for this award. An
exhibitor may win this award only once in a GCA Show or once in a GCA Major Show.
The Catherine Beattie Medal is to be awarded for a horticulture entry distinguished by its vibrancy, prime condition, and perfection of grooming. It must have been grown by the exhibitor for at
least six months. The medal may be awarded for a single plant, collection of plants, container
garden, or cut specimen, but only if there is an exhibit worthy of the honor. It may be awarded to
members of GCA clubs only; individual, joint, and club entries are eligible. The award should not be
considered as a substitute for Best in Show. The medal may not be awarded to the same exhibit more
than once; however, offspring of a Beattie winner are eligible to receive the award.
The Clarissa Willemsen Horticulture Propagation Award is to be awarded for a horticulture
entry distinguished by its prime condition, flawless grooming and difficulty of propagation. The
entry must have been propagated and grown by the exhibitor for at least six months. The
Horticulture Propagation Award may be given for a single rooted plant or a collection of rooted
plants. The dates and method of propagation must be recorded on the entry card. The entry must
have placed first, second, or third at a GCA Flower Show. The award may not be given to an
exhibit more than once.
The Rosie Jones Horticulture Award may be presented to a horticulture entry of exceptional visual
appeal that reflects the spirit of growing with joy and enthusiasm and inspires others to propagate,
grow, show and share horticulture. An exhibit that has been propagated by the exhibitor will be
given special consideration but propagation is not a requirement. Perfection, while always desirable,
is not a primary criterion. This award celebrates the ineffable joy inherent in the beauty and pursuit
of horticulture. It could be the entry that would win the popular vote but not necessarily the Beattie
or the blue ribbon. Its primary virtue shall be its exceptional and exuberant inspiration.

The GCA Novice Award may be given at a GCA and a GCA Major Flower Show in the Horticulture,
Photography and Special Divisions to an exhibitor who is a member of a GCA club and who has
never won first place, in the division entered, of a GCA or a GCA Major Flower Show. It shall be
awarded to an individual novice exhibitor for an outstanding exhibit. Novice entries placing first,
second, or third are eligible for this award. An exhibitor may win this award only once in a GCA
Show or once in a GCA Major Show.
The Photography Committee Creativity Award may be given to a member of a GCA club in
recognition of creative and technical excellence in response to the theme of the schedule. The entry
must have placed first, second, or third.
The Ann Lyon Crammond Award may be presented at a GCA or GCA Major Flower Show to an
outstanding educational exhibit which best educates the public about gardens. Any educational
exhibit, which increases the appreciation of any aspect of plants, gardens, or landscape design, may
be considered for this award. The award may be given to GCA club members, member clubs, nonmembers or other organizations.
The Marion Thompson Fuller Brown Conservation Award may be presented for an
outstanding conservation exhibit at a GCA Flower Show. The award recognizes an exhibit of
exceptional educational and visual merit, which increases knowledge and awareness of the
environment. The exhibit should emphasize environmental concerns and may demonstrate
conservation practices. Plant material may or may not be used and, when appropriate, must be
clearly identified. Protected material may be included if such materials are identified as protected
and not collected in the wild. The award may be given to Garden Club of America clubs, club
members, non-members or other organizations. Exhibits may be judged as a par class or in
competition with other entries.
A Best in Show, selected from among the first place winners, may be awarded in each division.
A Judges’ Commendation may be given to an entry, class, section, special exhibit or other aspect of
the show that is of exceptional merit.
