The Begonia Festival
Yesterday was the begining of the Ballarat Begonia Festival. Yesterday entry was free for Ballarat residents, and since it's held just accross the road, in the Botanical Gardens, Socksy, Beck, CJ and I decided to wander over and have a look.
There was this band who had some affiliation with Gold 104. We got some Telstra balloons and planted them amongst the begonias.
Eventually we came across the Univeristy of Ballarat's tent, which was full of begonias grown by the horticulture students at SMB, probably for Kerry Cox's garden. It was also quite conveniently unmanned. So we thought we'd do our univeristy a hand and take over for a while, handing out course guides to people who were interested and pretending to know something about horticulture.
I know they got the idea from Amelie, but check out the Begonia Festival website's Celebrity Gnome Competition.
