October 24th marked the formal launch of our donated Fantasy-inspired Chrysanthemum Sculpture, strategically located in the enchanting Surrealist Garden. The event was attended by the management team, families of the late Ashley Booth and Jock Sinclair, and paid respects to other departed members, while celebrating with existing members our prolonged success and multiple Chrysanthemum Shows, including NZ Nationals, held at Hamilton Gardens' Pavilion. We express our appreciation to Hamilton Gardens management for arranging a private viewing and an exquisite morning tea.

Reminiscing through old photos provides a powerful reminder of our journey thus far. Though we may no longer have shows at Hamilton Gardens we continue to cultivate and grow for personal fulfillment.
After being serious growers for 23 years we have some in the garden, buds showing now. Next year we will be more organised from the house renovations. We will do a few back in polythene bags and have them on the back deck. 🏵
This year we will be showcasing a beautiful sculpture piece at a venue in Hamilton. In Memory of our club. Waikato Chrysanthemum Society. Yet to announced. We are very privileged to be where it is going to be.
