The Crookwell Garden festival committee is enhancing its year with a healthy donation to the community.

Festival president, Jan Pont says the weekend festival finished with an excellent result and witnessed a 38 per cent increase in attendance with many coming from Canberra.

A donation of $6,800 is being presented to the Crookwell Community Trust, an organisation which offers public assistance.

Jan Pont says planning for a festival started three years ago with the committee not really knowing what the result would be.

The intention was simple- to showcase the town of Crookwell and the beautiful gardens in the area.

Last weekend's event attracted between twelve and fourteen hundred people.
