Bronze award winner, with
Fanastia, was a romantic garden, very feminine, very wistful.
The rose petal path led
up to the fairy on the swing. She was crowned with a headband of tiny rose
buds and Singapore orchids and surrounded by a parallel design of
delphiniums, gerberas, and roses. Tiny points of interest included
the gerberas with pearl centres, and sparley balls of glieeter.
