If you love gardening, flowers, and art this competition is an arrangement made perfectly for you. 

Who? Anyone over 18 years of age – Individuals, teams, businesses or organizations.

What? Create a fantasy plant or arrangement, out of natural materials,…the kind one might find in Alice’s Garden. What is your vision of a plant, tree, bush or flower, in a “Wonderland” garden? Please do not use commercial silk or plastic flowers unless you use “pieces” to create your own plant. Think…wood, twigs, moss, dried flowers, mushrooms, things made from other materials. ….Tiger-lilies, rose bushes, daisy beds, Weeping Willow and Violets, mushrooms…maybe with faces?  Live plants may be used but must not require a lot of care. You may come in and care for the plant while it is on display.  The museum does not use fluorescent lighting and there are no windows in the gallery areas where the plants may be placed. Pieces will be on display up to 4 weeks.
