GREAT VICTORIAN HANGING BASKET COMPETITION 2020-21 AND OTHER RHSV EVENTS

As for other groups, COVID-19 has drastically affected our program of events. Events planned in 2020 were cancelled and others postponed. We have reviewed the RHSV program of events for 2020 and hope we will be able to achieve most of our usual activities, perhaps with a degree of re-tweaking. 

Unfortunately, issues caused by COVID-19 have made it impossible to organise and stage the Great Victorian Hanging Basket Competition in 2021. As this competition is a highlight of ‘The Royal’s’ calendar of activities its cancellation has an impact on all members. We are extremely disappointed by this turn of events. Planning for the 2022 Great Victorian Hanging Basket Competition is well underway and we look forward to the time when we can all come together for a bigger and better event!

It is also unlikely that the RHSV will be present in any other capacity at the 2021 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. If participation does occur it will be very limited, outside presence. On a brighter note, we are still aiming for a 2021 Gardeners’ Day Out in the middle of the year. Additional activities may also be added to the RHSV calendar in 2021 and announced nearer to the time
