The Fernkloof Flower Show

This year the format for the show was a bit different.
There were no show gardens on display or outside nurseries selling their plants.
The display in the main hall was a veld scene designed by David Davidson and Riaan, with a few suggestions from me! David, Riaan and the Fernkloof team did the hard landscaping – ‘creating a pathway through the veld with the signposts dipicting the names of the people who have served Fernkloof so faithfully over the years’. A beautiful photographic backdrop was mounted on the back wall. The photograph was taken by Pat Millar. The next stage was creating the floral display. As always David’s creation was beautiful. I have learned a huge amount from David and have so enjoyed working with him.
There were so many members of the Fernkloof Flower Show that did a wonderful job of picking, cataloguing and displaying the plants that were flowering in the reserve. The amount of knowledge is simply awesome – in the true sense of the word! There will be photos on their website, but if you wish to view my photographs of the Fernkloof Flower Show then follow this link.
