The 2026 Flower and Produce Show was held this year in September for the first time. There were a large number of entries and competitors, which was fantastic given the challenging hot and dry summer that we had experienced. Some wonderful exhibits were judged by Jack Sharp (Head Gardener at Downing College) who commented on the quality and standard of the exhibits. The weather was kind, and once all the exhibits had been inspected, visitors to the show enjoyed tea, coffee and cakes in the sunshine, before the prizes were awarded and the raffle drawn.
Best in Show was awarded to Rob Chignell, for some stunning deep red Dahlias.
The Dick and Joy Knight Challenge Plate, awarded for the entrant with the most points, was won by Jenni Connell.
A marvelous raffle was held, with donations from Garden Club members, local businesses and our supportive local garden centres. We are very grateful to them all.
