Want to learn how to turn your garden blooms into award-winning entries? Join for a free 1-hour Zoom class and discover how to successfully exhibit roses and dahlias at the San Diego County Fair. You’ll learn the essential rules, helpful tools, and simple techniques needed to compete, even as a novice.

With just a bit of effort and the right guidance, you can confidently exhibit alongside experienced competitors. Bring a notebook because you’ll want to take notes! Two sessions are available, offering the same class at different days and times for your convenience:
