More than 20,000 people visited the Botanical Gardens for the 71st Annual Exhibition, Environment Minister Glenn Blakeney told the House of Assembly.

Six thousand exhibits were on display in the agricultural, horticultural and floricultural event.

"Visitors and entrants alike enjoyed a bounty of traditional Bermuda kites, baked goods, terrariums, aquariums, educational displays, livestock and woodwork exhibits to name a few," said Mr. Blakeney.

The Minister was particularly complimentary to the goat classes, which he said continue to increase.
