Regina show to display floral beauty

Originating in Asia, peonies have long been treasured for their floral beauty and scent, and a Regina event will pay tribute to these popular garden plants.

The Prairie Peony Society is set to welcome flower and garden fans for its 25th Anniversary Peony Show. Its theme will be “Passion for Peonies”, and it will offer delights for all the senses.

The festival style activity will be held in Cathedral Neighbourhood Centre, and will run for two days. Everyone is welcome to bring along peonies from their own garden to display, and there will be volunteers on site to lend a hand. Along with the flowers, the attendees will be invited to view exhibits of photography, paintings and other floral art prepared by local artists. Peonies can be entered starting at 7:00 am on the first day, and they will be ready for public viewing starting at 1:30 pm.

Garden clubs and floral societies give those who enjoy horticulture an opportunity to show off their skills, learn and meet their fellow green thumbs. A poster printing company may be a helpful partner in helping to get the word out to local fans of a particular pass time.

The 2024 Prairie Peony Society show will be held on June 22nd and 23rd at 2900 13th Avenue. The dispersal of bloom is scheduled for 3:15 pm on the Sunday.
