Floral Festival Highly Successful
Gisborne's second Floral Festival, held over three days in the Army Hall, proved to be an outstanding success.
An estimated 7000 people visited the display, which consisted of courts and exhibits of floral art entered by gardening clubs and organisations from Wairoa, Gisborne, and Tolaga Bay. Private entries were also included.
The success of the festival reflected the high standard of artistry and the many hours of painstaking work which the exhibits' creators had put into their entries.
