Oamaru Whitestone Country

This beautiful display was created by Daphne for the South Island Rose Societies competition, hosted this year in Oamaru. Daphne’s created the piece for the competition section “Oamaru – Whitestone Country: Portray Oamaru in Roses”, where Whitestone had to be included as part of the design.

So Daphne set out to find the perfect piece of Whitestone – and found exactly what she had in mind here at Musgroves. Daphne said it was the best $10 purchase and fun she’d enjoyed for a long time! Paired with roses from her own garden, plus charming touches inspired by Oamaru’s little blue penguins and steam punk, the finished piece is a stunning and thoughtful tribute.

We’re so pleased Musgroves could play a small part in helping bring this vision to life. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us, Daphne.

If you enjoyed this project, please share it on your socials, thanks!
