Jan Griffin: Horticulture
Born, raised, and educated in the Seattle, Washington area where her gardening interests evolved around growing food as well as flowers for the table. She always loved flowers and spent many hours finding out which plant did the best for what type of conditions. The Seattle area was a mecca for many different blooming annuals, colorful bulbs and wonderful evergreens. Upon moving to Florida in late 1989, she quickly learned those plants she knew all about would not thrive in Florida’s climate. She joined a Garden Club and started her quest for learning about other varied and interesting plants. She continued her education by becoming a Flower Show Judge. Now an Accredited Master Flower Show Judge, she teaches Floral Design classes as well as horticulture for Flower Show Schools.
Being actively involved in The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs and Florida Flower Show Judges keeps her busy. She is serving as the Flower Show Schools Chairman for the State of Florida, a Vice President for the Florida Flower Show Judges, the Horticulture Chairman for District VIII as well as her club’s treasurer. It has been her honor to serve as horticulture chairman for four state flower shows and several district shows as well as chairman of the yearly local Strawberry Festival Horticulture Show.
Her interests other than Garden Club are family, golf and working in her friend’s florist shop.
