Re: AIS:Judges' Duties


Hi Dana,

About 2 years ago we in Region 14 became aware that some of our judges were
woefully lacking in actual garden judging.  There were a few that hadn't had
any actual garden judging in 5 years!  So that year we changed our
requirements .  Of the six hours our Region requires each three years, three
of those hours now have to be garden judging, and NOT one-on-one judging,
either: actual schools in the garden.  That is for Garden Judges: Active
Masters have to have two garden judging hours in their three hours in a
three year period.  Judges are allowed to lead a school, just not
one-on-one.

To make this requirement easy to get, we have instituted garden judging
after our shows, by one of the persons who judged the show.  It seems to be
working very well--and we are being forced to get out in the garden and get
some training.
