If someone gave you a truckload of vegetables and told you to create an imaginative display - I wonder what you would come up with?
At the Flower Show we particularly enjoyed one of these - which had an Egyptian theme.
Cleopatra has a dress made of cabbages, hair of asparagus, her face was thousands of seeds. The chair is designed out of rhubarb and cherries with a spring onion cushion!
The boy fanning her (the feathers were cheating) was red kidney beans and silverbeet leaves - I liked his cabbage hair..he stood in a field of parsley and the fan had a new potato handle. Attention to detail was amazing.
The path consisted of red and golden potatoes and red cabbages. The table holding grapes was made from red cabbages and the fountain of celeriac.
The dais was made of red apples and lined with golden kumara. Her cape was broad beans with bracelets of corn and different beans.
The two ladies who had designed it told me they would be more broccoli orientated next year.. the mind boggles!!
