Event returns April 23-24 after two-year pandemic absence with a show of resilience, pride in community and an invitation to others
Coronado is bursting with bountiful blooms — and the city and its partner, the Coronado Floral Association, are eager to share the spring blossoms with San Diegans during theNext weekend, April 23 and 24, the city will again stage its beloved communitywide event at the traditional venue, Spreckels Park, after a two-year pandemic-forced hiatus.
The show is open to the public, with a $5 admission fee, and runs from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The turbulent 1922 era offers parallels to our current times and a popular horticulture-centered community event can provide the same soothing, unifying response, Drummey pointed out.
It’s easy to enter the horticulture competition, with no preregistration or reservation required, unlike the floral or other design competitions, Veech explained. You don’t need to bring your own vase for cut flowers, since the show provides many appropriate floral containers for exhibitors to use. It’s essential, she stressed, to read the submission“You have to be meticulous in exhibiting your flowers and choose only those at the peak of perfection,” she said.
But the show is not all exhibits and judged competitions. On Saturday night, after the show closes for the day, a team of volunteers transforms the tented area into a decorated party venue for dining under the stars. The festive event, called The 1922 Club, benefits CFA’s programs. This year’s theme, “Through the Looking Glass of 100 Years,” recalls the show’s founding.
