Apart from a demonstration to Grade Eight learners, the girls are not given any formal instruction in the art of flower arranging.
Many find they have a natural talent and enjoy expressing themselves through this creative medium.
Girls are encouraged to enter as many of the categories of the show as possible and there are usually over 2 000 arrangements submitted each year.
Every arrangement is judged and the girls are awarded points for their houses.
Judges are drawn from people who have been connected to the school and particularly to the flower show, or people in the flower and garden business.
The flower show is open to the public from 2.30pm until 6pm on February 23, and from 8.30am to 12.30pm on February 24.
