A note of thanks from Show Secretary Sam Sutherland :

Hi Maggi, just a quick mail about the show yesterday.
It was a great show with a lot more entries than I thought there would have been -
people battled the weather to come from all corners, some having tricky driving conditions but still managed to get through.
Plenty of great quality plants on the benches even with the conditions we've had.
Would you post a thank you on the forum to thank everyone for their efforts in making it a great show  ?
Cheers,
 Sam


I'm happy to do so, Sam- and I think we all echo your thanks to all concerned- including yourself!

Hello, thanks for posting all the pictures from the show and I enjoyed it great to see all the flowers especially on such a winters day. I drove through some deep snowdrifts on the way but just fed up being shut in the house and clearing snow at home. A big thank you to Sam and the ladies in the tea rooms very welcome bacon butties and hot soup, even managed to get a red ticket or two, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Thought the show excellent despite the bitter cold. Some nice plants, particularly liked Cyril's Pulsatilla aff. vulgaris - the pale colour of the symmetrically outward facing flowers was set within an almost shimmering effect of the new foliage - lovely. Very impressed with the RBG display too.

Well done, Sam - great show!!
