From blazing golden yellows to rich shades of mahogany, when it comes to intense color, nothing in the fall garden can match their showy display. And size: many of these blooms will measure up to 11 inches across. Also on display will be chrysanthemum bonsai. No surprise that mums are the most widely grown potted plant in the US.

The show will be open to the public on Saturday October 16, noon until 5 pm and Sunday, Oct 17, from 9:00 am to 4 pm.  The Awards Ceremony is Sunday, Oct 17 at 4:00 pm, followed by break-down and bloom sale.

The competition is open to all mum growers.  Entries will be received Oct 15th, from 2pm - 7pm.  There is NO entry fee; entrants simply need the name of their cultivar.

This event is sponsored by The Long Island Chrysanthemum Society. For more information, call John Capobianco at 516-263-2717.
