Re: Charging for AIS Shows


We never had a problem in Region 20. Our show schedule always said "Free with admission to the Denver Botanic Gardens". It's important to include that phrase, because the Gardens sometimes charge a separate admission for special events.

If Gerry is correct than I guess we need to file this one under urban myth. Unfortunately I have heard from several people that they felt they could not hold a show in the prefered venue because of their perception of this rule. I am ashamed that I was not able to correct them since we might have had a few more productive shows.

As for Missouri Botanical Garden. As Jim mentioned they do charge admission. But the entrance to the bookstore, auditorium and exhibit areas are not within the garden proper and I have always assumed that one did not need to pay to enter them.

Perhaps these posts will enlighten others that are misinformed like myself.

Today someone was mentioning that they could not put on an AIS sanctioned Iris Show at certain botanical Gardens because the garden charges for admission and AIS shows are supposed to be free.

As long as the show is free, it is okay.

The venue can charge.
