The success of Fordell School's fundraising Garden Ramble has blown away principal Yvette Moorhouse.
"It was an amazing day, a huge success, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone," she said.
The school was its drop-in point, and quite a few people looked at the gardens there. There were 270 tickets for the event, and they sold out more than a week earlier.
"They just flew out the door. We had people even turning up on the day, wanting to buy tickets."
