The much awaited Flower Show for this year will take place as planned between the 4th and 7th of December. This year’s theme, ‘Reflections’ which is vast in interpretation will see community groups also taking part in the Display section.
The panel of Judges will remain the same as in 2013 although two new judges will replace some judges from last year who will be away. The Flower Show this year is likely to surpass last year in terms of participation judging from the number of people registering and those inquiring. Although the deadline for registration was November 21, 2014, most participants have asked for the deadline to be extended. So late entries will be entertained this whole week.
