'FLOWER of the MONTH':
Flower of the Month - 1 Jonquil or Daffodil
'AS YOU LIKE IT':
As You Like It 'Hellebores stem or bloom'
FROM MY GARDEN:
This is where you can bring anything you like from your garden.
Not to be judged, but just for display. You may have an unusual
flower, or foliage, or even a flower that just looks nice.
It is an area to show off what's in your garden. Even if it
has a fault or a caterpillar has taken a bite, we would like to
see it, so bring it along.
If you want to enter it into the nightly competition, obtain
a number and it will score points for the 'End of year Awards".
MONTHLY COMPETITIONS:
Why not enter our monthly competitions.
All you have to do is wander around your garden on meeting
day with a pair of secateurs and pick some nice flowers.
Bring them along to the meeting, and if you have never shown
before, there will be plenty of people to show you how to stage
your flowers.
