Sun Valley's' 22nd Annual Open House and Floral Design Show held on Sunday, July 20th, 2008 was another huge success. It was blessed with partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures and the event was well attended by visitors from all over the United States who toured Sun Valley's extensive greenhouses, coolers and warehouse, viewed the floral designs and watched planting, bunching, packing and shipping demonstrations. A special highlight this year was the Sun Valley Cup National Floral Design Competition held in conjunction with Florist's Review Magazine.
The 24 floral designs entered in the 'A Romantic Journey' wedding themed design show were judged by Darlene Montgomery of Redding, CA, Sandy Bertram of Santa Rosa, CA and David Coake of Florist's Review Magazine.
