The Autumn Show: Saturday 6th September 2025

Report to follow

Whether you are a longstanding member, or someone new to gardening (not to mention flower arranging, cooking and photography), it's time to start thinking about what you might want to enter into our second show of the year. Don’t assume your entry wouldn’t be good enough, or couldn’t win a prize, you might be pleasantly surprised. And whether or not you are going to enter anything, put the date in your diary and come along to have a look.

This is advance notice of the classes for our autumn show in September - so you can think about what to be growing (and taking photographs of) - but our Summer Show on Saturday 5th July is first! See Summer Show.

All entries on the day.
