Flower show is constant in a changing world
By Anne Kenyon
Reading through Edith Holden's Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, May 1906 was a month of cold north-east winds, hail and thunderstorms…
Little has really changed over the past 100 years! Not the seasons, not the Lee Flower Show. People have come and gone, vegetables, fruit and flowers come in and out of fashion, technology creeps in, but our traditions remain.
Our first scarecrow competition was great fun and an enormous amount of work
put in by some entrants. This is open to everyone, so please have a go. A
reminder that pot plants must be in the exhibitor’s possession for a minimum
of two months – i.e. from 21st May.We do need someone to organise the car parking and also the children’s races: please come forward if you are willing to take on either of these.
I hope your gardens and allotments made a good head start with the warm sunny April weather and expectations for a good show in July. As Monty Don would say: “Good Gardening”!
