Jeppe High School for Girls will be celebrating its 87th flower show as well as the 125th birthday of the Jeppe schools.
This year, the flower show will take place on February 20 and 21. Each girl in the school takes part and is encouraged to unleash her creative and imaginative skills.
The girls are not given any formal instruction in the art of flower arranging but many find they have a natural talent and enjoy expressing themselves in this creative medium. Girls are encouraged to enter as many of the categories of the show as possible and there are usually over 2000 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 industry.
The flower show is open to the public from 2.30pm to 6pm on February 20 and from 8.30am to 12.30pm on February 21.
Entrance is R10 for adults and R5 for children. Refreshments will be on sale and secure parking is available on the lower grounds of the school.
