Fijian Horticulturist, Viti Beaula, said this year’s Miss Hibiscus Festival was “the best”. Beaula and a few other ladies had a small set up selling plants at the revamped Peace Garden.

“It’s nice to see families sitting around the place amongst plants, flowers and trees compared to the previous venue [Albert Park] where it’s a plain ground,” she said.

“They have different shapes and colours, and it sort of signifies the beauty of the [queen] contestants and God’s creation,” she added.
