Thank you to everyone who entered and supported this year’s Summer Flower Show! Here are some of the highlights and winners.
Vegetables, Fruit & Flowers – Our wonderfully generous and cheerful judge, John Negus, had his work cut out for him. Calculators were needed to tally up all the points across the different classes!
- Winner (Vegetables & Fruit): Vivienne Sexton
- Winner (Flowers): Jane Harrap
- Best Exhibit & Combined Entries: Pam WallsÂ
- Graham Blunt Award: David Robertson for magnificent spring onions
Flower Arranging: Anne Blunt has run inspiring flower arranging classes and she was delighted with the number of entries this year. Anne invited professional judge Marina Dewey to give her expert opinion. She spent all morning carefully looking at every arrangement and providing thoughtful comments. She was very impressed by the high standard of all the entries.

- Star Baker: Pam Walls (for her cake, jam, and biscuits)
- Creative Prize: Sally Cousin (a worthy winner for her “spotted dog”)
