Video: Competitive flower growing for the Alaska State Fair

Marya and Garnett Morrow Sr. of Moose Gardens Bed and Breakfast have been competing in the Alaska State Fair since the early 1980s, but have been consistently winning "grand champion" ribbons every year since 1985. The Morrows, their son Garnett Jr. and other family members contribute to the family's submissions into as many categories as they can possibly enter. Flowers, flower design, wild berries, edible berries and sometimes baking have won the Morrows numerous blue ribbons and at times "Best in Show" and "Extreme Exhibitor." But Marya says the family's goal is to win at least one purple grand champion ribbon every year.
