Garden Weekends - by Amanda Crotty

Canungra 70th A, H, and I annual show

August 24th 2008 12:18
: SHOW TIME
The Opening Ceremony


Every year around July my family look forward to attending the local show. For anyone entering, on offer in the pavilion to choose from are: Vegetable and Fruit, Horticulture, Cookery, Home produce, Needlework, Agriculture and amateur Photography for adults. And in juvenile classes the choices are Horticulture, Cookery and Sweets, Needlework/Handcraft, Crafts and Hobbies and Photography. they also offer a Fine Arts section, for both. Outside you can choose from the Horse section, Diary cattle, stud Beef, Woodchopping and a Ute show and shine.





If serious about entering you would start to plan well in advance, As soon as the schedule comes out its a good idea to get produce together and keep an eye on the garden for anything that will be ready, choosing art, photography and other projects completed during the year. All photography and art needs to be mounted, this can be done at anytime once pieces are chosen. The final days get a little hectic in the flower and cookery sections as these can't be done too far in advance.




Even after a winter of heavy frosts the flowers still managed to impress me.


The pavilion smelt amazing with help from the native orchids.


Some of my favourites, geraniums, roses, lavender, gerberas and snap dragons just to name a few, beautiful quilts in the background.


Grevilleas and flowering shrubs.


Another successful show. A great way to showcase your wares and meet people with similar interests. Great fun well worth all the work.
