The Janet Bubier Miniature Flower Show Award
The Acton Garden Club has established a Federation award of an engraved silver bowl in memory of Janet Bubier, herself a Federation judge and a creative designer with a special interest in miniatures. This award will be presented annually to a flower show in Massachusetts which displays the greatest creative interpretation of a ‘small’ or ‘miniatures’ section.

In 2008, the silver bowl and a Certificate of Merit was awarded to the Southeastern District Designer Study Group for a section of small designs at ‘Winterscapes’ a Standard Flower Show staged at Heritage Museums and Gardens.
