Green thumbs can be
inherited. Mary Walden and
her daughter Linda Wilson
share this common
characteristic.
The Blyth mother and
daughter team were two of
the top exhibitors at this
year's Blyth Horticultural
Show. Their flowers and
creative arrangements won
the judge's favor in many
classes and as in past years
the duo came away with
many first place awards.
Mrs. Walden had the
highest number of points in
the flower division of the
show. She won a pen and
pencil set, donated by the
Blyth Bank of Commerce
and a $20 cash award.
Mrs. Wilson, 1982's top
winner, came away this year
with the best entry and
honorable mention for her
church basket arrangement.
Both are also modest
winners and agreeable
competitors. Mrs. Walden
explained that she had no
expectations of winning this
year, but her daughter
teased, "She made me mad,
she won more firsts."
Mrs. Wilson said that she
and her mother went
searching for roadside
flowers together this year
and her mother came away
the winner. -
Mrs. Wilson joked, "We
used my car and my gas to
get flowers for the roadside
container, and I even
stepped on a snake."
Winning is not the main
objective in entering the
show for Mrs. Walden and
Mrs. Wilson. Both are keen
supporters of the annual
show and feel that through
continued interest they will
help to support the show.
"We work hard Co keep the
show• going," Mrs. Walden
explained. "Each year there
is talk that it will be can-
celled."
Mrs. Walden has been
involved with the Blyth
Horticultural Society for
several years and serves on
the executive. Her daughter,
although not a regularly
active member in the
society, has been par-
ticipating in the flower show
for the past three years.
Mrs. Walden claims that
her daughter is the en-

thusiastic one when it comes
time to prepare for the
flower show. She explained,
Linda gets enthused much
earlier and gets me going."
Both favor the flower
arranging sections of the
show and studied the art of
arranging at a special course
held last fall in Clinton.
"Linda has a natural
talent for flower arranging.
My mother Charlotte Cook
was creative. She made
quilts, grew many African
violets and gladioli," Mrs.
Walden praised.
While preparation for the
flower show involves many
hours of work and arranging
the day previous to the
exhibition, planning and
thought goes on throughout
the year.
Both agree that arranging
the flowers is the easiest part
of the preparation, but
finding a suitable container
gives an arrangement a
special touch. In fact Mrs.
Wilson believes, "It's the
container that sells your
display in arrangements."
This year Mrs. Wilson used
a fruit cocktail can, child's
jack-in-the-box, six quart
basket and her son's work
boot to give her
arrangements unique ap-
peal. Mrs. Walden has used
baby blocks, and variety of
tiny dishes and vases that
she collects at garage sales.
"We're always keeping
our eyes open for new con-
tainers," Mrs. Walden said,
as she showed her most
recent find, purchased at a
weekend yard sale.
Containers however are
little value without flowers.
The best of Mrs. Walden's
outdoor flower garden is
condensed in a decorative
corner fountain display, but
she particularly enjoys
working with foliage
arrangements collected
from various trees and
shrubs around her home.
Mrs. Wilson says she
chooses easy to grow flowers
such as gladioli and baby's
breath. Working at Val's
Fashion Fare in town and
raising two youngsters keeps
this young mother busy, but
she has proven that prize
winning arrangements can
come from a garden that
does not require endless
hours of care.
Experience from past
shows has also taught her
how to prepare entries in a
limited amount of time.
Entries must be ready for
judges by 11 a.m., the day of
the show, so Mrs. Wilson
begins picking flowers the
afternoon before and stores
them overnight in buckets of
water.
"You learn how to put
things together and tran-
sport them to the show after
a few years of practice," she
said. "Last year I must have
made at least 125 trips to the
show, but this year I put all
my entries in big boxes and
transported them in one
trip."
Each year the mother and
daughter duo learn a few
new hints from the show as
each judge makes different
observations and winning
choices and each year new
ideas for arrangements and
containers are discussed.
For mother and daughter,
the green thumbs and
creative minds work
together to help keep the
Blyth Flower Show in full
bloom.
