Plant Lovers’ Fair, Kariong, 2017

Posted on 24/09/2017 by hapalochlaena

The AusCPS stall on Saturday morning

The Society had a successful weekend at the Plant Lovers’ Fair, Kariong, despite the hot, dry and extremely windy conditions. There was some cloud cover on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon to provide relief. Some plants were damaged when they were blown off the bench but are expected to recover.

Many thanks to the members who supplied plants and helped out at the stall.

Many thanks also to Costa Georgiadis, who did a live Facebook broadcast featuring carnivorous plants on Sunday afternoon.
