Time to plan for the rose show

Oct 2012


October’s here already but local gardeners still have time to get ready for this year’s Rose and Flower Show; an annual event which adopted a new name last year. There’s traditionally 100 days between pruning and those first blooms but lots of growth already appearing means 2012 is looking good for some lovely exhibits.

The Show is planned for Saturday 10th November, giving keen exhibitors an extra week to cosset those beautiful blooms. And don’t forget, if roses are not your specialty, there’s plenty of scope in other ‘fields’. Age is no barrier either – the Committee would love to see more entries from our children and young people.

Martinborough Property Brokers provide great sponsorship for this now very traditional event; which hopes to make some money to donate to local charities. Schedules will be available in a week or two round town.
