The Piedmont Garden Club hosted a club flower show on April 8-9 at Community Hall. The pup-centric theme — “Best in Show” — made for a playful and engaging showcase of local talent. Club participants submitted enchanting floral arrangements, fanciful place settings, artful photographs, and fine horticultural specimens to be judged by expert panels, many of whom traveled from other garden clubs around the country to evaluate the submissions.
