ENJOY a floral feast as Musgrave Centre hosts the 5th annual Musgrave Centre Flower Show between 11 and 14 August.
The show is open to all flower arrangers, both amateur and professional, across 10 classes. The arrangements will be set up at the Musgrave Shopping Centre on Thursday 11 August from 9am to 4pm, and will be open to the public from Friday to Sunday 12 to 14 August.
The show will boast over 100 exhibits from approximately 50 talented exhibitors that range from international award-winning artists to the inspired talents of the Maris Stella learners and the DUT Fashion and Design students to name just a few. The event is of the highest standard and is set and judged by the KZN Panel of Floral Art Judges. Designs will be judged according to the interpretation of the title, excellence of design and originality. Prizes comprising of gift vouchers from Musgrave Centre will be awarded in each class and amount to a total of R25 000.
This year, the organisers are bringing something new to the event by introducing a design category inspired by The Sunflower Fund under the directive ‘Hope begins with you’. These robust creations constructed on a rigid frame are kindly being donated by the artists to either be auctioned or sold to corporate organisations to raise funds in support of The Sunflower Fund’s worthy cause. The Sunflower Fund creates awareness and educates and recruits stem cell donors to increase the number of people registered on the South African Bone Marrow Registry.
