We use English boxes in the shows in St Louis. Usually
there is some sort of agreed upon theme. Nonetheless
there is no reason that an exhibit of seedlings could
not be done. It would not compete in the class of a
particular theme but could certainly make an
interesting educational exhibit. These types of
exhibits usually get rosettes, much nicer then just a
blue ribbon. Colorful, beautiful educatonal exhibits
can may a show much more interesting.
