Learn More About The National Capital Judging Center

Judges meet once a month at their respective judging centers to judge plants and continue their ongoing education. Each center structures its training and judging differently and may change its format from month to month. Here at the National Capital Judging Center, we usually begin judging around 12:00 – 12:30 pm. Depending on the number of judges present and the number of plants to be judged, we will judge either in two separate groups or as a committee of one.
