Don't miss the 2017 Spring Flower Show!

What is a Flower Show?

The Spring Flower Show is a judged flower show open to the public. It is open to both adults and children to bring their best horticultural specimens and artistic designs for judging, or to just view and experience.

Each year a different theme is chosen in which the artistic design categories and staging follow. This year's theme is “Growing Memories at Kingwood Center”.


How do I know what to do?

A schedule (see below) is available that lists all of the different sections and classes for people to enter. Entry cards are available at Kingwood.  All entries are judged by accredited judges from Garden Clubs of Ohio, Ohio Association of Garden Clubs, and the Gardeners of America.


What can I learn from the Flower Show?

The Spring Flower Show has been held for over 50 years at Kingwood. This judged show creates a wonderful opportunity for the public to show off their gardening and artistic skills.  It is also a good way for visitors to see new plants and ideas, and to talk with area gardeners.

Sunday, June 4th

Join us for a day of volunteering and grilling out at the Bike Trail Mural!

Looking for a Sunday stroll? The B&O Bike Trail provides over 18 miles of scenic beauty in nature, connecting multiple small towns.

Maybe you've never been to this mural site, and would like to see it for the first time. Maybe you've seen it, or even helped paint it!

We will be working together to continue the beautification here, in this prime area of community improvement.

'6:07AM' was created by artist Mark Calloway, and the amazing help of volunteers, artists, families, and friends, as a project through Mankind Murals Inc a 501(c)3 Nonprofit. Thanks to the Richland County Foundation for the sponsorship of the Mural, to Richland Public Health for the Bench, to community leader Bill Baker for helping channel rainwater to the river, and to Lori Cope and the City of Mansfield for paving the erosion gap making it safer for bicyclists and runners. Let's all get together and celebrate our achievements, and continue improving this B&O Bike Trail Park!

Two areas of easy access:
North Lake Park, a leisurely .5 mile stroll or bike trip to the Mural Bridge from the Mansfield end of the Bike Trail.
Behind the Tyger Stadium Bus Garage on 4th Street, a small access route to the Bike Trail near the Mural Bridge.

Oh, and did we mention we're grilling?
Please let us know you'll attend!
See you at the Bike Trail!
