Letter from the Coronado Floral Association

Coronado Floral Association Flower Show 2022 April 23-24, 2022

In 2022 Coronado Flower Show will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first Flower Show in 1922. The yearly flower show is Coronado’s longest running tradition. Coronado Floral Association is the governing body that presents the yearly Flower Show in partnership with the City of Coronado.

COVID shut the Flower Show down in 2020 and 2021. This could be a blessing in disguise. It is time for change and this two-year break provides an opportunity for reinvention. Coronado has changed a lot in 100 years and the Coronado Flower Show has changed during that time, too. Coronado’s population has changed a lot and it’s time to adjust to those changes.

Coming up to the 100th year in 2022, it’s time to reimagine the Coronado Flower Show and build a spirit of cooperation. Coronado Flower Show weekend is a community event. It makes sense to collaborate with other civic groups, clubs and of course, Coronado residents young and old. We need fresh, new ideas to launch the Flower Show into its second 100 years.

In recent years volunteers have been dwindling and Coronado Floral Association is down to a skeletal crew tasked with organizing the Flower Show. Recruiting volunteers in recent years has proved challenging to the point of being critical. We always need volunteers!

In a perfect world, what do we want to see as we move into the future? Which traditions should we keep and what new ideas would improve the experience for everyone? Coronado Floral Association needs your help figuring out how to move forward and asks for your input in moving forward.

Please contact us at info@CoronadoFlowerShow.com to share your ideas. Coronado Flower Show is your show. Let’s work together to keep it strong and thriving in the years to come.

Sincerely, Co-Presidents Diana Drummey and Leslie Crawford
