The Horticulture Show is a two-day weekend event in which visitors can walk through the landscape for free.

All the plant material shown in the landscape is all donated by either landscape companies or nurseries within the mid-Atlantic region. With the donated materials, they are sold at the show to any willing buyers. The club also sells fresh produce, apple cider, pumpkins, ornamental corn, house plants, and lastly, Chrysanthemums (just in time for full bloom!). Parking Information: The event will take place this year on a home-football weekend. Guest parking for this event will NOT be available on Saturday, October 23, 2021 due to the football game.
