Our popular Springtime event for sharing our plants! Come and join us with your spare plants and see what we have to offer.
You’ve got the fruit and vegetables, now all you have to do is convince the judges… This talk will tell you how to go about presenting your produce at a show.
Come along and support the Society! Raffle, refreshments and single stem rose competition.
The Society will have a stall at the ever popular Town Show, and we will have plants and hut stock for sale.
We will also display ‘vases of cut flowers for all round effect’. So if you have a bunch available, please bring it to share.
Baking is not just cooking when it comes to putting your produce in a Show. Our bakery judge, Anne Jones, will be giving a talk on how to bake for a Show. Raffle and Refreshments on the night.

This is a lovely, relaxed social event to meet your fellow EHS members and allotmenteers, and enjoy the fruits of your labours. Bring any spare produce or results of your cooking and share with others.
Great Dixter combines a historic house, dating from the 15th century and restored and extended by Lutyens, with what is widely described as one of the great gardens of Britain, home of the late garden writer Christopher Lloyd. There is a wide variety of interest from yew topiary, carpets of meadow flowers, dazzling colourful mixed borders (including the famous Long Border), natural ponds, a formal pool, to the wonderful Exotic Garden. Christopher Lloyd and head gardener Fergus Garrett were constantly experimenting at this great garden, and the spirit of this is maintained to this day: it is a garden no garden enthusiast should miss.
More information in due course here and in our Newsletter.
