The Abingdon Horticultural Society held their Spring Show at the Northcourt Centre on Saturday 5 April. Ian sent some pictures and a report…

The long wet Winter has caused problems for many of us, yet the minimal frost and high temperatures have encouraged the flowers and plants to yield early results. In fact, many of us have found that the early blossoms mean our favourite candidates for the Show were in their prime too soon. The essence of exhibiting is timing, and that played a big part this year.

We had an excellent turn out for our Show, and the entries far exceeded last year’s participation. There were 36 (23 last year) members who exhibited with 189 (133) entries.

See the Abingdon Horticultural Society website, or Contact Ian (ieshepherd at yahoo.co.uk) for information. He says “You might even find you would like to join us! We have a programme of talks, shows, visits and usually a Summer holiday. We will be very pleased to see you.”
