At the Purbrook Horticultural Society Spring Show held on Sunday 24th March at the Deverell Hall, London Road Purbrook.

The sun shone, the exhibits looked glorious [despite the deluges we have recently endured!] and everyone had a slice or two of home made cake with their cuppa. What was particularly exciting for the Society to see was the number of new members putting in exhibits for the first time and the pleasure they gained when getting great feedback and even achieving a placing.

The Hall was packed with visitors from babies in arms to the more mature making for a super affordable family occasion with something for everyone. The camararderie of the Society and generosity of members donating home made produce; putting in exhibits and more importantly giving their valuable time meant the Show was a success and their contribution valued by the happy visitors. So, with the Spring Show completed, do we sit on our laurels? No! as the Summer Show scheduled for Sunday 18th August at Crookhorn College is already being prepared and even pre planning started for Spring 2025.

The Results!
