The Abingdon Horticultural Society’s Spring Show was a vibrant display of local gardening expertise. Mayor Councillor Gwyneth Lewis presented awards to the winners, having been warmly welcomed by Society Chairman David Bingley.
Charlton Park Garden Centre, the show’s sponsor, provide support. This Wantage-based garden centre also offers a regular stall at Abingdon Market every Monday.
The competition included various categories of spring blooms and houseplants. This year’s tulips were particularly impressive. There were also handicraft and cookery competitions.
Founded in 1885, the Abingdon Horticultural Society has a long history of nurturing local gardeners. Learn more about the society and its upcoming events at https://www.abingdon-hort-soc.org.uk/.
Abingdon town centre was brightened today by people collecting for the Marie Curie charity, who provide support at the end of life, whether at home or in hospices.
Lovely photo at the AHS show. My husband and I are in the background of the photo with the Mayor. Thank you for blurring our faces but we’re quite happy to be seen.
Curious why the faces in one photo are blurred but the people outside Costa (or in previous posts) are not
I just thought the faces in the horticulture picture got my attention while the ones in costa didn’t. Purely subjective. And since V doesn’t mind, I have unblurred them. Thanks, V.
