Gardening Australia has now screened the segment they prepared on the OSCOV Show, based on filming at last year's Show. The segment is absolutely fantastic - and showcases the OSCOV Show in all its majesty. Millie Ross is an amazing presenter and was deeply honoured when a new Masdevallia hybrid was named after her. What you'll see in the video is just like what you'll see at this year's Show - open Friday 29 to Sunday 31 August 2025 (9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day) at KCC Park, 655 Western Port Highway, Skye, Victoria. Make sure you pay the Show a visit if you can!
