Prices Are Down For Floriculture Entrants

Gardeners of the Sunshine Coast, we know that the weather has been challenging but we certainly appreciate the rain and think of those that are not as lucky. Penny Hegarty our wonderful Floriculture Steward provided feedback to the Show Management Committee that the entries were too high for this section. We listened, the prices of entries have been halved!
