Lily Show
The centerpiece of the North American Lily Society annual International Lily Show and Symposium is the Lily Show. This year the annual Lily Show will be held in the Atrium at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Ontario. The largest botanical garden in Canada, a National Historic Site, and a registered charitable organization with a mandate to bring together people, plants and nature, it is located at 680 Plains Rd W, Burlington, ON L7T 4H4, Canada.
Our Lily Show Team has constructed an extensive show schedule that includes Horticulture, Design, and a Lily Photo Contest. Each section of the Lily Show schedule has exceptional classes to encourage your participation.
Horticulture Division
The Horticulture division of the lily show has inspiring classes for seedlings, named single stem lilies, as well as a challenging class for remarkable collections of lilies. Awards from each section of the show schedule will lead to the selection of the “Top Awards” for the Horticulture Division of the Lily Show.
