One of the assets of The Ohio Association of Garden Clubs is its Exhibitors’ and Judges’ Schools which educates and trains exhibitors and judges alike. Flower Show Judges undergo a minimum of three years of schools and a period of student judging before being accredited. Judges must continue their education to maintain that accreditation and be allowed to judge flower shows. Active Accredited Flower Show Judges are listed below.
OAGC honors those judges who feel they are no longer able to maintain their status with the title of ‘OAGC Judge Emeritus’ however, a Judge Emeritus may not judge a flower show regardless of whether or not the show is being entered in a state competition. We thank those Judge Emeritus listed at the bottom of this page for their many years of dedication to OAGC.
