Some tips on getting your flowers and arrangements to the show: Use individual containers like pop bottles for each specimen flower. Wedge bottles tightly into a box with room for each flower at the top. Old pop crates are wonderful, use every other square or use a box with rolled up newspaper between containers. Some people use a bucket with each flower in rolled up paper, or use tape to make a grid to keep flowers apart on the bucket top. Place your flowers in the vehicle first or get in first and have someone hand you the flowers. More stalks have been lost to car doors than any rainstorm or environmental problem! Place arrangements gently in boxes for transport. If you make an arrangement the previous day, be sure to keep it well watered. Condition is a large part of the score. Bring extra foliage or extra flowers to fill in in place of any damaged foliage or any shifting of the arrangement in transport. 7 GENERAL RULES DIVISION IV: Artistic (Adult) Class A-1: “Board Games, Card Games or Puzzles” Class A-2: “Sports” Class A-3: “Game Shows” DIVISION V: Artistic (Youth) Class Y-1: “Minecraft” 1.
