NGC Symposium for Flower Shows (October 13-15, 2026)
United Way of Fort Bend County
12300 Parc Crest Drive
Stafford, Texas 77477

We have an upcoming opportunity for all your garden club members to attend the NGC Symposium in Houston from October 13–15. This is a grand opportunity for us here in Texas as for many years we have had to travel out of state.  It’s open to judges, garden club members and others who are interested.  

A symposium differs significantly from a flower show school because it features the study of 2 plant types, design, and an allied topic which in this case is Fiberworks presented in a workshop format.  Many attendees find new and interesting ways to design and expand their knowledge of plants.

Please encourage your garden clubs and membership by including the registration form or inviting them via email with this registration form.

***One edit on the registration:  We are not studying Angular Designs, but rather Abstract and Tubular.

Tubular is an easy design to create while Abstract opens up unique creative designs done in a non-naturalistic and non-realistic manner.  

Thank you for spreading the opportunity,

Suzanne Milstead, Corrie Ten-Have, Sigrid Vincent-Brown
