April 14, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondai Regional Art Gallery burst into bloom last Thursday night for the annual Wondai Garden Expo- themed competition.<\/p>\n

Artists were invited to submit works in any medium to fit “A Garden Theme”.<\/p>\n

There was $1000 in prize money on offer over three categories, donated by the Wondai Garden Expo committee.<\/p>\n

The judge for the competition was well-known Mundubbera artist Sue Lederhose who had the difficult task of judging watercolours, pastels and sculptures against each other.<\/p>\n

She said the winning piece, a sculpture by Wondai artist Linda Staines, ‘Flora – Elegantly Recycled’, was an “absolutely beautiful artwork” that fitted the theme.<\/p>\n

Linda was presented with a cheque for $500 by Wondai Garden Expo committee vice-president Peter Biltoft.<\/p>\n

The annual Autumn Wondai Garden Expo is on this weekend at the Wondai Sportsground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter said stalls had been booked right around the ring, including some from big nurseries.<\/p>\n

He said the Wondai Garden Expo was now the third biggest in Queensland.<\/p>\n

The Expo will run from 8:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, and 8:00am to 1:00pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Admission is $5.00 per day or $8.00 for a two-day pass. Children under 15 are free.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker on Saturday is Brisbane-based horticulturalist Claire Bickle who has been featured on ABC Local Radio.<\/p>\n

The Wondai Art Gallery exhibition will be on display until the end of the month. Entry to the gallery is free.<\/p>\n
