Gardens showcased were Forbes Riverside Community Gardens, Red Bend College, John Browne, Colin and Gail McKay, Father Peter King, Eriic and Marian Barrass, Denise and Phil Thurston and David and Michelle Mahlo.
Forbes Garden Club would like to take the opportunity of thanking all who participated, visitors for making it an amazing day and to all the members who took time to sit at the gardens.
The local Men's Shed catered for lunch with a variety of food.
The art display by Forbes Art Group was well received.
It was an amazing two days. The weather was absolutely beautiful and without our volunteers it would not happen.
