Children's Poster Contest E-mail

Thank you to all the educators and students for their participation in the New England Spring Flower Show Poster Contest. We received about 600 students’ entries this year from over 27 different schools in Massachusetts. As you know, the judges select only 31 winners (1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place and 2 honorable mentions). All of the entries were fabulous and we enjoy seeing all of the variety of plants, creative ideas, and styles used in their botanical illustrations. The winners will have their work displayed at Bayside Expo Center for the duration of the nine-day Show and photos will be posted on here on our Website in April.

A special thanks to the educators from the following schools for being part of our 2008 Poster Contest:
