Saturday, October 3, saw members of the Wokingham Horticultural Association stage an Autumn Flower Show at their newly refurbished Trading Store at the Ormonde Road allotments.
Keen dahlia growers brought in their prized blooms and other flowers.
The 37 exhibits were judged at 12.30pm, after which exhibitors and visitors were able to inspect the results.
Terry Miller carried off two first prizes in the dahlia class and won with his chrysanthemums, while fellow allotment holder Paul Jarvis won both in the dahlia class and the specimen bloom in his own vase.
WHA President entered a beautiful vase of bright flowers in the From my Garden class, and was awarded Best Vase of Flowers in the show.
The WHA’s next show at Ormonde Road is our Pumpkin Extravaganza on Sunday, October 31, to include decorated pumpkins as well as the one grown with the biggest circumference.
The fee to enter is 50p per class, which is waived for children’s entries.
All the details can be found on the WHA website www.w-h-a.org.uk.
