Fuchsia Show 2016
The Fuchsia Show was held at the Harlestone Heath Garden Centre on Saturday and Sunday, 6th and 7th August. We had 24 members making 218 entries for the show which resulted in 269 pots and baskets being exhibited. This year the number of entries was up on last year and this was mainly due to key exhibitors having placed more entries. We also had entries in every class which was great.
All things considered we had a wonderful show and we are very proud of every member who helped put the show together and whatever was asked of them they performed their tasks admirably in a very friendly, efficient manner. Well done!
This was our fourth show at Harlestone Heath Garden Centre and each year gets better. Well done everybody!
