There is plenty of car parking available or alternatively travel by rail to Loftus Railway Station - exit the station on the western side and walk 200m to the hall.
Please bring your roses, secateurs and a small towel on which to work. The bikini vases (you’ll learn what they are) and oasis will be supplied. Stage your roses in a class demonstrated by Ted & Meryl, or choose a class from the National Rose Championships schedule available on the day.
It will be a relaxed day; come even if you don’t have any roses, there will be roses to share from some of our more prolific growers. It is hoped members who have not exhibited before/have limited experience, come to the workshop and receive advice and gain confidence. For our more experienced exhibitors, practice your skills and mentor one of our new members.
Don’t miss an opportunity to learn from three of Australia’s most successful rose exhibitors.
Not a member, no worries - join up on the day! Please register your interest, or to ask a question. Contact Denise via email or phone 0407 588 630.
