Workers from the Department of Parks are readying the Botanical Gardens for the best of Bermuda’s agriculture, entertainment and culture to go on show next Thursday in the 85th Annual Agricultural Exhibition.

The big show will run through April 25, showcasing student creations and community talent alongside horticulture, baking, craftsmanship and equestrian events.

Pigs, a traditional favourite, will make a comeback.

The Ag Show’s Lower Ring will give attendees the return of the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show on each day.

Parks staff have been readying the Paget grounds for the presentation, from site preparation and general maintenance.
