Memphis Flower Show

The creative inspiration of the 2014 Memphis Flower Show: Memphis Milano
depicts the international movement of the 1980s that was a reaction against
modernism. Memphis Milano: The exhibit is a collection of industrialist furniture
and design objects owned by local Memphian, Dennis Zanone. Italian designer
Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) is the founder of the movement, which was named while
listening to Bob Dylan’s “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”.
With this in mind we likewise have taken inspiration from Memphis music in our
class titles.

DIVISION V
Conservation and Education Exhibits
Wolf River Conservancy Leads the Recharge
The Wolf River meanders 90 miles from the hardwood bottomlands of Holly Springs (Mississippi) National Forest before
meeting the Mississippi River north of downtown Memphis. Its ever-changing landscape includes countless water lilies,
bald cypress, cardinal flowers, sand bars and labyrinths of fallen trees. Deer, otters, cottonmouths, bobcats, mussels and
numerous waterfowl live along the stream even as it flows from rural west Tennessee deep into the city. Here its spell is
broken by the sounds and glimpses of passing traffic, and the Wolf becomes less beguiling. But its significance is more than
scenic.
The Wolf is vital to the quality of the water supply for the Memphis metropolitan area, home for almost one million people.
Residents get their drinking water from the Memphis Sands Aquifer beneath the Wolf River Basin. The stream’s wetlands
serve as natural filters to clean polluted waters before they recharge the aquifer.
In addition, the river’s extensive watershed - 889 square miles in surface area - temporarily stores floodwaters during heavy
rains. Without an adequate watershed, flooding and erosion would threaten property and lives.
The Wolf River Conservancy was formed in 1985 by volunteers who feared this vital and special landscape was being lost
to channel dredging, headcutting and chainsaws. Over the last three decades the WRC has raised and spent millions of
dollars to buy and protect thousands of acres in the Wolf River floodplain. It now has a paid staff whose mission includes
conservation education.
While the Wolf River corridor recharges our water supply, the conservancy creates and fosters recreational and educational
opportunities to recharge our bodies and spirits.
The purpose of this exhibit is to spotlight the invaluable work of the Wolf River Conservancy in its mission to educate the
community about the Wolf River and its value as a natural, educational and recreational resource. A diorama of a river scene
will be the exhibit’s centerpiece.
Native plant material to be identified in the exhibit.
The Conservation Committee
“Conserving the Wolf River – It’s Just Fun”
Young people connect with the outdoors while learning about the need to conserve the community’s natural resources. The
Sprouts, a group comprised of children and grandchildren of the Little Garden Club of Memphis and the Memphis Garden
Club, learn the need to preserve the Wolf River corridor as a sustainable resource. In this exhibit through photographs,
a wildlife habitat display, and model aquifer, the Sprouts show off their commitment to conservation. The Sprouts
demonstrate their knowledge of the benefits of natural plants, which help filter the water along the banks of the river,
prevent erosion, and sustain area wildlife. One young participant observed, “Protecting the Wolf River doesn’t just help the
tree frogs, it makes our water clean and makes it safe and fun to canoe on the river and ride bikes on the Greenway!”
