The 25th anniversary Spring Show

Saturday 20 March 2010

Walton & District Allotment & Garden Society held its 25th Anniversary Spring Show at Elm Grove Hall featuring exhibits of Flowers, Cookery, Handicrafts, Photography and much more!

Once exhibits had been staged and the all important judging had taken place, the Show was open to the public and the Deputy Mayor came along to present awards. The weather hadn't been very kind to us all this year so there were significantly less spring flowers (daffodils and tulips) than in previous years but the entries in the cookery classes certainly made up for it! Whoever was judging those classes wouldn’t have gone home hungry! They included: cup cakes, chocolate brownies, treacle tart, cheesecake, coffee sandwich cake, cheese and potato pie, cheese and onion bread, marmalade and chutney! They must have been fit for bursting!

Some of our entries were:

This was my 3rd prize winning entry into the photographic category "My favourite place"

My 3rd prize winning entry in the toy class - Eddie the Elephant

My non-prize winning brownies

Third prize-winning baby booties in the knitting section


An auricula that we had grown from seed (taking the green seeds from a plant in the garden).
