GEORGE NEWS - Kos en Fynbos will be hosting a summer garden festival in November and is inviting residents with vegetable, herb and fruit gardens to enter.
It is not a competition, but rather a show-off by keen gardeners of their gardening skills and how much food they can put on the table for their families from their own efforts in their own gardens.
At the Kos en Fynbos meeting last week, 150 entry forms that were available for handout proved to be far too few, and organisers are expecting a couple of hundred gardeners to enter.
This is a huge leap from the very beginning of Kos en Fynbos just over two years ago when the first 59 gardens were judged in Blanco.

Interested persons are also invited to attend the Kos en Fynbos meetings every second Wednesday of the month from 13:00 to 16:00 at the municipality's lecture hall.
The summer festival will be concluded with a special function in each ward. These functions will be held between 21 and 28 November. Specific times and venues will be announced nearer to the time.
