"London Calling," a National, GCA Flower Show

This is the first GCA flower show held in Colorado Springs in 17 years!

Aptly titled “London Calling,” this flower show and entries pay homage to Colorado Springs’ early days when the city was often known as Little London. More than 110 entries are included in clever categories like: The Royal Wave, Heir to the Throne, Tea Time, My flat in London and many others.

Those interested in floral design, photography, horticulture, conservation and a taste of local history will be interested in attending this event.

There will be an educational conservation exhibit: “Birds, Bugs, Bees and Blossoms.” Presentations also will be provided. Matt Mayberry will present “Growing a Unique Western City: How Colorado Springs Blossomed,” and Tom Kimmell will present “iPhone Photography.”

The El Pomar Foundation’s Penrose House is the ideal setting for a beautiful summer day.
