I wish to respond to a Letter to the Editor, The Area News on June 15, signed by ‘Karen the Riverina Gardener’. As a result of this letter a few people are now assuming that Griffith City Council benefits from the Griffith Garden Festival. I can assure everyone this is not the case. The ratio of the division of money is correct with the garden owners receiving half of the funds raised, usually passing on to their chosen charity a percentage of what they have received. In fact, most give the charity 100 per cent of their share.
