Plant Plan brought something new to the show this year that would fit easily into many Zimbabwean gardens like it does in our beautiful national parks: sculptured ostriches filled with showy calibrachoa that trailed beautifully from its back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED John Hibbert Zimbabwe owes a great deal of respect for this ambitious young man for his enthusiasm and knowledge of all things water wise. He truly is the future of gardening and his keen eye for importing and propagating extraordinary aloes, succulents and air plants continues to keep us enthralled. HIGHLY COMMENDED Dodhill Garden Centre The support and effort shown by the nurseries located outside of Harare is always highly appreciated. It is a challenge to transport the carefully nurtured plants and flowers to the show. Thank you to Dodhill Garden Centre from Chegutu and Hivu Nurseries from the Vumba for your participation. Well done to all the exhibitors, stores, organisers and visitors for all your effort during the not-so-cool September weekend. 30 Ostriches wtih beautiful trailing calibrachoa by Plant Plan
