Re: new question

There was a stipend arrangement that existed when I worked at PHS. Try asking Laura beitman. She is at PHS now and also a GWA member.

Subject: [GWL] new question

I have a flower show question. I have heard that at....Philadelphia?  
Chelsea? ....landscape designers that sign on to present a garden are  
given a handsome stipend to help with the cost. Out here in Chicago,  
some presenters for the flower show manage to get outside  
sponsorship, but the significant financial investment prevents many  
quality people from getting involved. Then attendees complain that  
the show is too commercial.

This seems to be a persistent problem here. We have lots of terrific  
designers and fine garden centers/nurseries, plus three major public  
gardens. Most of them aren't interested in participating in the  
flower show and I think the main reason is they don't want to spend  
the money. But my impression is that designers/growers etc. would  
kill to get into Philadelphia and Chelsea. Why the difference? Are  
they getting financial support from the RHS and/or the Penn. Hort.  
Society?
