Plant Show Winners from Minnesota State Fair
Each year, MSHS hosts the MSHS Potted Plant Show at the Minnesota State Fair. This event runs during the first two days of the fair and is a real treat for folks who grow patio and indoor plants.
A long standing tradition of MSHS, this show features unique and unusual plant collections along with a large variety of houseplants, hanging baskets, vines, dish gardens, herb containers, and terrariums. It’s exciting to see the wonderful plants gardeners bring in to exhibit.

This year, the Grand Champion was Charles Peterson of Minneapolis with the incredible succulent pictured above.

The Reserve Champion was Susan Kennedy, also of Minneapolis, who won Best Cactus for this fascinating entry. Below are some of the other winning entries. Congratulations to all the gardeners!
