Entries wanted for Flower show

The flower show is now in its 99th year.

Warkworth Garden Club is calling for entries for its annual Rose and Flower Show, which is set to go ahead on Friday, November 13, at the Warkworth Town Hall.

Visitors can view the entries between noon and 5pm. Admission is $2 and under 16s are free.

Organiser Annette Sharp is also encouraging entries for the “best local garden” to begin preparations now as they are due in by November 1.

“We are expecting some lovely gardens as so many people have been able to spend time on them during lockdown,” she says.

The Rose and Flower Show judges will also drive around Warkworth and Matakana to look for the best garden as seen from the street.

They will also pick a “best street” which collectively has the most impressive gardens.

“If you have good street frontage, now is the time to spruce it up,” Annette says.

There will also be a category for best aesthetic contribution from a business or community building.

The annual flower competition has been held since 1921.
