Discussions were held around various aspects that have an impact on<\/p>\n<p>organising a show and, of course, the change in consumer habits since the<\/p>\n<p>global pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team has been through two challenging years and tough<\/p>\n<p>decisions were made to ensure the survival and longevity of our publications,<\/p>\n<p>which are and will remain the core of our business, with an additional focus on<\/p>\n<p>digital media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visser said these decisions allowed Lonehill to not only<\/p>\n<p>navigate the pandemic and the difficult trading conditions but also<\/p>\n<p>predetermined their future focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we close the chapter\u2026 we look back at the spectacular<\/p>\n<p>keynote gardens that were built by world-class and highly respected designers<\/p>\n<p>and landscapers in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gardens were of an incredibly high standard,<\/p>\n<p>comparative to those at the Chelsea Flower Show. We remember the other nodes of<\/p>\n<p>the shows, from gardening, specialist plants and craft exhibits, to the spring<\/p>\n<p>dog and agility shows, art shows, exquisite floral designs, sugar art shows,<\/p>\n<p>quilting exhibits, DIY and tool exhibits, school gardens competitions, the<\/p>\n<p>happy earth exhibit, braai competitions, kids\u2019 zone, delicious food and delicacies,<\/p>\n<p>muddy trips in a 4&#215;4 on the main arena and so much more. The Garden Show held<\/p>\n<p>true to its name and really did have something for everyone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to extend her heartfelt gratitude to The Royal<\/p>\n<p>Agricultural Society of KwaZulu-Natal for offering us the opportunity to be<\/p>\n<p>custodians of the show and for partnering with them, offering guidance and help<\/p>\n<p>during each stage of the show organisation and during the shows.<\/p>\n<p>She also thanked their headline sponsors, area sponsors,<\/p>\n<p>societies, landscapers and designers, judges, exhibitors, suppliers, media<\/p>\n<p>partners and contributors for their continued support throughout the years,<\/p>\n<p>which ensured that the show would go on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo our visitors, thank you for believing in us and for<\/p>\n<p>giving us a reason to organise our shows. Even in the pouring rain, and<\/p>\n<p>sometimes thunderstorms, you continued to enter through the gates with much<\/p>\n<p>anticipation to see what each show had to offer. Your excitement spread through<\/p>\n<p>the showgrounds and your laughter and enjoyment will always remain a fond show<\/p>\n<p>memory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now reach the end of a long era; the history book has<\/p>\n<p>closed, and the beautiful dame of a garden show is now yet another chapter in<\/p>\n<p>our lives. It shaped us and added so much to who and what we are, and for that<\/p>\n<p>we will be forever grateful,\u201d said Visser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
