Dear McGregor Friends and Family
           
You are warmly invited to inspect and admire the incredible effort that McGregor gardeners are engaging in to keep our picturesque village beautiful. 23 gardeners have agreed to be part of this year’s Show Off Competition, and have been working since early in the year improving and refining their gardens.
 
This is the third year that the Show Off Competition will be taking place. Fifteen Established Gardens and eleven Emerging Gardens will be showcased over the McGregor Celebrating the Arts Festival.  Most of the mini gardens are in White City.
 
On the 25th and 26th of September the public are invited to admire the road frontage of these gardens between 10am and 4pm. Maps showing the location of the Show Off Competitors are available at the Tourism office.
 
The actual judging of the competition for the Established and Emerging Gardens and the Ann Bedford Floating Trophy will take place in October. The gardeners are proud of their participation and we welcome your interest and encouragement.
 
McGregor Show Off Organising Committee:
Paul and June Savage, Ilzer Geduld (previous winner) and Jenny Stipcich
