Fair Flower Show project began when the Fair Board approached the Master Gardener Volunteers about taking this over and trying to increase the participation.  The volunteers have organized and established the event and increased the entries each year. 

There are classes in artistic design and even classes for juveniles.  During the event the MGVs are on the premises to tend the flowers and answer gardening questions.  Special events are held each year such as decorated wreath, Pick of the Bouquet , decorated mailboxes, and the scarecrow.

The Early Ohio Settler's Garden took life in the Heritage Committee meetings while doing research to assist local organizations in the development of gardens that fit with the period of their homes.  They have continued to assist these organizations, such as the Daughters of the American Revolution with the Pennsylvania House,  the Piatt Castles, and the Crabill Homestead.

The Garden Fling is an all day educational program on the first Saturday in April.  The program offers a varied list of topics from orchids to soil.  If you are looking for some great garden art or some reading material, these are both available in the Garden Bazaar.  Lunch is available at a small cost.  When we are getting anxious to get into our gardens, this is a great way to entertain ourselves while the weather is not conducive to outdoor gardening.  Come and jump start your spring.

The Gateway Garden Jubilee is a premier event for the Master Gardeners of Clark County.  The first Saturday in August each year, the gardens are on display, vendors are offering garden related items, free food, great music, and educational programs are occurring at regular intervals.  It is a wonderful opportunity to show the public the wonderful work that Master Gardeners do and to showcase our gardens.  Join us for a wonderful day in the gardens, make some new friends, and maybe take home a plant or two.
