LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club invites the community to celebrate the splendor of fall flowers at its annual mum show.
The show will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, at the Lakeport Yacht Club, next to the Fifth Street boat ramp in Lakeport.
The event is free and open to the public.
The theme for this year's show is “Mum Masquerade.” The arrangements will be created around this theme.
Organizers said the buds on the chrysanthemum plants are bursting with color and want to show off their beauty.
Growing mums is an all-year process. There are many varieties: incurve, reflex, decorative, pompom, single, semi-double, anemone, spoons, quill, spiders, brush and thistle, exotic or unclassified, gnomes, cascades and garden cushion.
The Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club, or CLTTGC, has held judged chrysanthemum shows for many years.
Now members create a non-judged show – just for the pure joy of enjoying these beautiful flowers with all the varieties and share them with our community.
The flowers are presented in the form of floral arrangements and single stems. Last year they had more than 100 guests attending to view more than 50 arrangements.
The show is sponsored by the Kabatin-Red Bud Arrangers of CLTTGC. Shirley Estrem is the project manager, coordinating placement and classification, and Barbara Swanson is advising the Red Bud arrangers in assembling their “mum” creations.
Refreshments of cookies and cider will be available for your pleasure as you enjoy the show.
The CLTTGC is affiliated with the Mendo-Lake District and the California Garden Clubs Inc.
