Mike,
That sounds like a great idea. That still doesn't make sure they are
visiting gardens but at least you know they are getting some JT in the
gardens. Not a bad idea at all. My problem is understanding how on earth
anyone who loves iris can stay out of the garden? We live out there,
especially during bloom season.
I can tell anyone that is interested that Region 17 has two Garden judging
schools scheduled. The first will be here at our garden on April 20th on
Medians by Mary Wilber. The second will be May 11th in Amarillo Texas on
Tall Beardeds. Ya'll come get those garden hours <G>.

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.
