Create
The educational focus of CREATE is to broaden public knowledge and appreciation of the natural world through a multifaceted exploration of horticulture, floral design, photography, conservation, and botanical arts. By translating historic garden plans and landscape designs into quilts, the Division V exhibit "Flower Bed to Feather Bed" teaches the public how to "read" a garden's design as a visual story and deepens the understanding of how humans have shaped landscapes over centuries.

Nature's Pearls
The Garden Club of Darien is located on the Long Island Sound in Southwest Connecticut. We work in the Darien area to foster public gardens, support green initiatives, and work on civic projects that enrich relationships with our community.
Our theme, Nature’s Pearls, celebrates the treasures hidden within our natural world — especially within marine ecosystems like Long Island Sound. Much like rare and exquisite pearls, these natural treasures remind us of nature’s inherent wisdom, resilience, and the urgent need to protect and restore its habitats.

Fun at the Fair
The Garden Club of Jackson’s Fun at the Fair show is a joyful reminder that creativity doesn’t always have to be serious to be meaningful. While much of our work centers on conservation, photography, and the artistry of floral design, this show gives us permission to play—to celebrate color, whimsy, and the simple pleasures that first drew us to create. It refreshes our spirits, strengthens our camaraderie, and reminds us that even in the most dedicated work, there should always be room for delight.

Classic
The Division V Education Exhibit aims to raise awareness of the importance of supporting birds in their migration along the Atlantic Flyway. The Atlantic Flyway is a major migratory route stretching over 3,000 miles from the Arctic to the Caribbean and South America, with New Jersey serving as a stopover point. The Flyway functions as a corridor for over 500 species of migratory birds that pass through New Jersey. In Division V we highlight native plant selection and garden design ideas to provide these birds with the food and shelter they need to survive during their migration.

Norfolk, Virginia
Fair Winds and Following Seas
We are excited to welcome you to our beloved city!
The City of Norfolk's identity has long been defined by its deep ties to the sea, exemplified primarily through Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval base, and home to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquarters, which overlooks the historic harbor on the Elizabeth River. The city embraces its maritime heritage, earning the nickname "Navy Town," and famously adopting mermaids as their whimsical cultural symbol.
