Wondai’s Autumn Garden Expo was blessed with sunshine last weekend, attracting a large number of stallholders and visitors.<\/p>\n

The expo was officially opened on Saturday morning by South Burnett councillors Heath Sander and Danita Potter.<\/p>\n

They were followed in the seating area by a string of guest gardening experts sharing tips across Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

A highlight this year was a “beard parade” featuring colourful creations by floral designer\u00a0Felicity J. Aitken.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Felicity also had a very colourful display inside the Wondai Lions Pavilion.<\/p>\n

The Wondai Garden Expo committee’s next outing will be their Spring Expo on September 27-28. Mark your calendars!<\/p>\n
