6 & 7 October 2012

The Pam Golding Hall and Annexe at the new Environmental Learning Centre were a riot of colour over the weekend of the 2011 Festival, as 57 exhibitors entered their prize blooms and plants into competition to win an array of attractive prizes. Thirty six children participated this year, creating a range of beautiful and innovative exhibits.

The well-attended prize giving was held on Saturday 29 October in the Eden Grove Blue lecture theatre. Guest speaker, David Davidson, officially opened the event and handed out most of the prizes and trophies.

The prizes for the Gardens of Grahamstown competition were handed over at the same time. Brenda Cadle, Adele Barnard and Kim Webber, representatives of the main sponsor, Pam Golding Properties Grahamstown, were present to do this. Marlene Mitchener, director of the Umthathi Training Project, assisted with awarding the prizes in the township garden category.

Some of the photographs taken at the prize giving have been posted on the Gallery. Winners who would like a digital copy of their photographs should contact the Organisers on info@grahamstownflowerfestival.co.za.
