There should be a magnificent display of flowers this year, if current trends in local gardens are any indication and if the wind doesn’t play havoc.
There will be many and varied stalls to help you make some early Christmas present purchases, and lots of opportunities to show off your skills with either green thumbs, artful flower arrangements, craft or cookery.
There is also a children’s section in craft and cookery.
Schedules are available at the Jerilderie Newsagency, the library or the council office.
Entries will be accepted from 8.30am to 11am.
Judging will be at 11.30am, and the official opening is at 2pm.
Lunch and afternoon tea will also be available.
