Last night, Shelley and I went to the opening of In Paradiso. In Paradiso is an exhibition of religious floral art at St Agnes’s Church, 114 Booran Road, Glen Huntly. The exhibition will continue daily until Wednesday 31 August. There will be a demonstration of church flower arranging by Peter Bennett and Nigel Wright on Monday night, 29 August. Enrol by phoning 9571 3932.

The work is a delight and is a fine tribute to the skills and talent of the artists.

The exhibition was officially opened by Lady Potter (Primrose), widow of Sir Ian Potter.

The exhibition was by invitation.
