Garden club prize winners announced at AGM

Johannesburg South Garden Club held its AGM on Tuesday May 26, with many of the members receiving awards and prizes for their entries into the garden competition and flower shows.

KIBLER PARK –  “We held an extremely successful garden competition in February this year and our autumn flower show in March. The gardens entered were of a high standard and they were also open to the public for viewing. At the autumn flower show we had a fantastic response with many members entering their cut flowers, plants and herbs as well as floral arrangements. All in all this has been a wonderful year for the garden club and we look forward to welcoming new members,” said chairman, Maud Pickup.

Flower show winners, front: Brenda Hay, Bess van Staden, Anne Du Plessis, Val Wilke, Anne Helmrich, Eugene Berry and Leonarda Jones. Back: Rina Cridlan, Rob Jones and Jenny Richardson with Maud Pickup (chairman of the garden club.)

“We’d like to thank the sponsors of prizes for the garden competition and we really appreciated your generosity. Tulip Nursery, Builders Warehouse, Rietvlei Nursery, Olive Nursery, Jane Griffiths and Villa Lugano guest house.”

The morning ended with a braai and visit by the Alberton Stetsons, who got the members rocking and rolling!
