Outdoor event defining spring!

The program, “Outdoor Group Arrangements” is self explanatory and a competition was held among eight groups, each having a group leader and five members. They were allocated different spots in the vast and picturesque Elahi Farm to showcase their exhibits. Each exhibit showcased a different view/understanding of what the season brings, making it interesting and a learning experience.

Asma Ansari, Sarwat Aslam and Faiezah Shahid were the judges and Asma being the senior most, announced the results 1st Group (D) led by Farhana Azeem; 2nd: Group (H) led by Nusrat Bilal; 3rd. Group (C) led by Bushra Maqsood and commended: Group F led by Ghazala Abdullah

Farida Kalim, a seasoned floral artist distributed the prizes among the winners and participants. President Magnolia, Wiqarunnisa Boolani appreciated everyone for showing their zeal and expertise in floral art, as such competitions are a source of learning for new comers and they polish the skills of seniors at the same time. Birthday girls were given small tokens. It was a creative and fun filled get together, ending with lunch and a sweet treat provided by one of the members, who surprised everyone with her so far unknown baking skills!
