It’s time to say goodbye to the winter blues. Celebrate the arrival of Spring and the warmer weather by taking part in the first-ever Karaglen SuperSpar Flower Competition.

Karaglen SuperSpar is calling on all the creatives, the flower lovers and the blossoming arrangement enthusiasts to join in the fun this weekend for an unforgettable competition. The event promises to be fun for the whole family. That’s right, get the little ones involved and let their creative juices flow, all for a great cause.

Karaglen SuperSpar has chosen the Edenvale Care Centre Hospice to be the beneficiary for this fantastic floral competition. The competition will take place on Saturday, September 7 from 9 am to 11 am.

Those wanting to take part are encouraged to register on their website, www.karaglensuperspar.co.za, before Thursday, September 5 at 10 pm. 50% of the R100 entrance fee for the competition will be donated to the Edenvale Care Centre Hospice. The other 50% of the fee will be used to cover the basic materials each entrant will receive. This includes a basket, oasis, ribbon, floral tape and an incredible selection of fresh flowers to work with.

Those taking part will need to bring their own scissors as well as any accessories they wish to add to their arrangement to make it as unique as they are. Additional flowers and other accessories will need to be bought from My Photo at Karaglen. Budding florists will have from 9 am to 11 am to arrange their flowers before the judging kicks off from 11 am.

The delightfully flowery arrangements will be judged in three categories on the day. The judges will select an overall winner as well as a winner in the most creative category and a most colourful category. The overall winning florist and arrangement will receive a R500 Spar Gift Voucher while winners in the most colourful and most creative categories will each receive R250 in vouchers.

The winning arrangements will be photographed and these will be displayed in the centre for the month of September, which will give the winners added bragging rights to go along with their amazing prizes.
