Summer Flower Show

The late Summer Show at the New Hall at the end of August was a success with the judges saying how good the quality of exhibits were.

Mid Devon Show

In the short time available a table top display with the club notice board was put together by Chad Stone, John Bennett and Ros Nichols.  Chad's beautiful begonias caused quite a sensational amongst visitors as they were very eye catching.

A beautiful hot sunny humid day on set up and show days took its toll on exhibitors and show goers but the show was a huge success with thousands of visitors and through put in the Flower Marquee. With a theme of Preserve & Conserve, there was a bump entry in the open competitive cut flowers & floral arrangments competition.

Congratulations must go to new organiser Brenda Tucker and her band of helpers for making the Marquee full of delights in the flower and garden world.

Gardeners Question Time success

Over 150 keen gardeners packed the Tiverton Community Arts Theatre for Radio 4's recording of Gardeners' Question Time on Wednesday.

Eric Robson was chairman with Pippa Greenwood, Matthew Biggs and Anne Swithenbank the panel of experts delivering the answers to the chosen from the audience.

Four Garden Club members were lucky enough to have their question picked and were given the chance to read it out.  The panellists were challenged on a couple of questions but bounced ideas around and the answers will be listed on the Radio 4 website once the programme has been aired.

The recording will be aired on Friday 20th June & repeated on Sunday 22nd June.
