WELLINGTON FLOWER SHOW
The Wellington Flower Show is held twice yearly at Wellington School. The Spring Show is held in Wellington Prep School and the Summer Show in the ARC, next to the Princess Royal Sports Centre, South Street, Wellington TA21 8NT
Despite the atrocious weather, Saturday 29th brought a superb Summer Show at the Alan Rogers Centre, Wellington School. After about three months of dry weather, the standard of the exhibits was still extremely high. Some vegetable classes had fewer entries than usual, and a few intended exhibits were not quite ready on the day. Overall, though, the quality was excellent, with some impressive entries — including a gigantic marrow from one of our regular exhibitors. Well done; it even put mine to shame. As always, the Floral Art was impeccable, and the flowers and pot plants compared well with previous years. Thank you to all the children who entered their wonderful creations — you are all incredibly talented and creative. Growing vegetables is much easier! The Cookery standard was also very high, and I am still enjoying some of my exhibits. Many thanks also to the Monumental Women of Wellington for providing and serving the refreshments; we hope you enjoyed the goodies they provided, I was particularly impressed by the lemon and courgette cake, mmmm. All prize winners are listed on the Announcements tab above, so please do take a look and perhaps next time your name could be among them, if you find a class or two to enter. Please look out for announcements about the Spring Show, which will take place in late March or early April at the Wellington Preparatory School, off South Street. In the meantime, add a reminder to your diary or calendar and start thinking about what you would like to enter. If you have feedback about the show, ideas for future shows, or would like any help or information, please get in touch through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61589912727182 Thank you all for your support.
