Presidents Welcome
As we celebrate another Coffs Harbour Agricultural show in 2018 I looked around to see if 2018
was a designated International Year. Turns out unlike tradition no specific theme was nominated.
Various bodies had offered “Year of Millet” “Year of Healthy Planet” but none were selected.
Unlike outside influences the annual Coffs Harbour Agricultural show is a traditional event that
aims to foster a closer relationship between the rural and urban aspects of our District. It goes
further in promoting an understanding of where and how our food goes from the farm to the plate.
The Coffs Harbour Show prides itself in finding ways to educate the next generation to appreciate
how important good quality, clean and well managed foods and animals provide us with the basic
staple foods we eat.
In 2018 we are promoting a close level of co-operation between our own show next generation
and the communities next generation so please take the time to share your knowledge with them
as you walk around our many and varied attractions.
Christopher Pearson 2018 Show president

SECTION 12 FLOWERS & PLANTS
STEWARDS: Members of the Coffs Harbour Garden Club
Judges are looking for what is typical of the flower or plant, free from disease, insect or other damage, clean and fresh. Judges may, at their discretion, award 1st and/or 2nd, and/or make Highly
Commended Awards. Judges also have the discretion to make no prize or award in a Class if, in their opinion, there is no exhibit in that Class worthy of a prize or award. All plant material must have been grown by the exhibitor. All plants must have been in the exhibitor’s possession for at least 90 days prior to show. Please label exhibits. This is important as the purpose of a Show is education as well as competition and other exhibitors and the public may be interested in growing varieties that have been exhibited. If unknown, write on exhibit tag ‘Name Wanted Please’ and there may be someone who can assist you in naming that exhibit. For pots both the scientific name and common name is desired. In the Bonsai Classes, the age of the Exhibit should be included with the name. There are bottles provided (soft drink bottles); however, you may use a container of your own choice. This container must be of clear glass for the cut flower classes. Specimen flowers must have their own stem and foliage. No stems longer than 70cm please. Pack the stem in the bottle neck using kitchen towel or oasis so that the stem is held firm for judging and display purposes. Foliage plants are judged on the quality and appearance of leaves and stems. Flowering plants are judged for their display of flowers but should not show obvious foliage damage. Do not put oil on leaves of plants, leaves should be cleaned of all dirt but not coated in anything.
