Things are opening back up, and we're DELIGHTED to announce that the annual James & Ann Whitall House Flower Show will be taking place as scheduled on June 28, 2020, from 10 am until 4 pm, on the grounds of the house in Red Bank Battlefield Park. Members of the public are encouraged to bring horticultural entries to the show! There is no registration or entry fee. For full details of the show Click Here for the Flyer
If you plan to bring entries to the show, here is some additional information. Due to Covid-19 safety precautions, our registration methods have changed! Registrations will be accepted between 9am and 10 am. A registration table will be set up. You must fill out a separate entry card for each specimen. Pens will be available if you don’t have your own, and you are to keep the pen you use to fill out your entry card. A masked volunteer will be nearby but socially distant, in case you have any questions.
Please bring your entries wrapped in damp paper towels, not in a container. Containers will be available at the registration table for your specimens. You will put your specimen in a container and place the entry card under the container. A volunteer will then place your entry in the appropriate category display area.
If you wish to pick up your entry, please do so by 3:45 pm. Items left after 4:00 pm will be discarded.
We require attendees and participants to wear face coverings while attending the show. You must be mindful of social distancing, and obey the “one-way” directions when viewing the displays. Hand sanitizer stations will be available in various locations throughout the show.
In addition to the beautiful flower, herb and plant specimens on display, plant vendors will be on the grounds offering flowers and shrubs for sale.
If you have any questions, please call the Gloucester Co. Certified Gardener Office at 856-307-6456.
We hope to see you there!
