The St John’s Catholic Church Hall was transformed into a wonderland of flowers, pot plants, foliage and miniature and basket arrangements as the Ōrewa Garden Club held its annual Spring Show on September 12.
Competition was so fierce that the judges had to eliminate entries with imperfections, despite them being few and far between, said club president Linda Mellor.
Judges Murray Silverstone and Jannene Stermi from Bunnings Warehouse Silverdale said they were “blown away” by the high standard among the 136 entries.
Christine Muir was awarded the Best Exhibit Trophy for her brilliant blue/purple Spraxia, while the coveted Ellen Boyce Memorial Cup, given to the club member earning the most overall points from categories entered, was taken out by Valerie Julius.
Linda described the event as “a great day and a credit to all Ōrewa Garden Club members who continue to produce some amazing flora. May it always continue!”
