The Abingdon Horticultural Society spring show is this weekend. (Thank you to Janet for letting me know). There was an autumn show in 2021, but this is the first spring show since 2020

The Abingdon Horticultural Society was founded in 1885 and so must be one of Abingdon’s oldest societies. The society was established ‘to promote knowledge of and interest in horticulture in Abingdon and its vicinity, and to encourage cottagers in the cultivation of their gardens.’

One garden we can all take an interest in is that of St Ethelwold’s House, from which I have a picture of the white bluebells,

and another of tulips.

Over the other side of the River Thames, the clumps of daffodils are in flower.

It was a showery day, and a rainbow could be seen from Abingdon Bridge.
