"Excellent turnout" for local horticulture show

The popular yearly event attracted a good crowd of both green fingered folk who knew a petunia from an osteospermums, and those who simply enjoy a blooming good plant and the chance to socialise with a coffee.

Also for sale were various herbs, grasses, and fruit bushes.

In addition a wide range of books were available with all proceeds going to the societies charity which this year is Help For Heroes.

The societies chairman Pat Reilly said the event went well and many people had made the effort to bring plants saying they had an "excellent turnout."
