Liam Hutchings, society chair, said: ‘Over the centuries artists have captured the rich symbolism of flowers and tracing the changes of meanings of roses, carnations, irises, etc. ‘A change too from the usual gardening subjects.’

Established in 1943, Havant and District Horticultural Society hosts monthly talks on gardening topics and an annual summer show, as well as social functions and outings.
