Learners are encouraged to partake and unleash their creative and imaginative skills.
Apart from a demonstration to Grade Eight learners, the girls are not given any formal instruction in the art of flower arranging.
The schools PRO, Carole Heming, said learners find that 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.
The seniors (Grades 10 to 12) may enter two to three homegrown blooms or choose from categories ranging from shades of green, city landscape, antique white, rainbow after the storm, sassy succulents, paper flowers, flowers for a pharaoh 100 years since the discovery of King Tutankhamen, Afro-beat and #MyDinaConnection, said Heming.

Every arrangement is judged, and the girls are awarded points for their houses.
Our 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.
