Cobb+Co Toowoomba, during September’s Carnival of Flowers featured an enchanting floral extravaganza with the annual Hanging Basket Display, proudly supported by Yates.
More than 50 community groups, individuals and schools transformed the museum into a botanical wonderland with hanging baskets that they created to this year’s theme of ‘Create a Buzz’, and lovingly nurtured over the previous months.
Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite basket in the People’s Choice Awards, presented at a ceremony on Thursday, 28th September along with other awards and trophies.
Local artisans, green thumbs as well as students and other community groups who had taken part in the Hanging Basket Competition were celebrated for helping the museum put a unique twist on the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers festivities.
- 70+ attendees from local community groups, schools etc. collected their awards and accepted their prizes for different categories, and spoke about their baskets.
