Instead of using nature's blooms, designers, artists, ceramists, origami experts and textile designers are encouraged to submit ideas for floral fantasies made from non-floral materials; paper to porcelain, wool to wire and any medium in-between.

Successful entrants will be notified on Wednesday 16 September, giving them ample time to create their magic gardens.

Judges will award R1000 and a stay at the Airstream Park to the winning garden, with a R1000 audience choice award going to the biggest crowd pleaser.

The display will be open to the public 8 -11 October, during the daytime. Visitors to exhibition will be asked to donate R10 to the Feed me Daddy programme, which assists an impoverished community in the Transkei.
