4-H Horticulture
The Wichita Garden Show
is proud to host the
2010 4-H Horticulture Judging Contest
and the
4-H Photography Extravaganza.
Both are competitions open
to 4-H youth across Kansas and neighboring states.
To better prepare 4-H'ers for state and national
horticulture competitions, the 4-H Horticulture
Judging Contest at the Wichita Garden Show
offers 4-H'ers an opportunity to practice
1) identification of leaves, fruit and nuts and,
2) comparing plants, fruit and vegetables
to identify traits of quality.
Thousands of plants and flowers in the
gardens and exhibits also provide an outstanding educational opportunity for independent
plant identification.
Below are the rules and information about the
4-H Horticulture Judging Contest.
Please see Show Events for rules
about the 4-H Photography Contest.
