Horsham Rotary Club members are already signing stallholders for the 2024 Spring Garden Festival after the success of this year's event.
Club secretary Neil King said the two-day garden event in Horsham Botanic Gardens was an outstanding success with about 1500 attending over the weekend, despite cooler weather over the two days.
"One stallholder returned to their Horsham premises six times to collect more items," he said.
"People were leaving with bags full of plants for their garden, or other items."
More than 20 businesses had stalls while other activities such as creating items from recycled items and face painting were popular with children.
Mr King said devonshire teas, supplied by Horsham and District CWA members, were also in great demand.
A feature this year were the 17 instruments provided by the Organ Grinders Association of Australia, with most from southern NSW. Many were hand-cranked.
* Next year's event will be on Saturday October 12 and Sunday October 13 in Horsham Botanic Gardens.
