Lovely AGS show in Kent at Sutton Valance.
Easy to see why that form of Iris schachtii was an Award of Merit recipient, isn't it?

More lovely photos, Johan- thank you, too. Seems like a most pleasant Channel Hop!
More photos from Jon Evans  HERE  in the AGS site
I read from Jon  that he missed taking a shot of  Kalmia polifolia f leucantha from Gemma Hayes, which won the Longfield Trophy for the best plant in the Intermediate Section - I'm sure I spotted  that plant in a photo somewhere - but I can't find it now - but well done Gemma!!

[Maggi Young]

Aha! Thanks to Paddy Parmee for this photo of Gemma Hayes' super Kalmia  polifolia f. leucantha  - very well done Gemma and Paddy too for coming to my rescue !

A few more pictures from Kent. It was a very enjoyable day and Adrian and Samantha Cooper made it so by a conscious effort to appeal to a wider range of gardeners than just members of the AGS. So the range of plants for sale included trees and shrubs from the local Kent Madrona Nursery, which added 'colour' to the Show and gave a more welcoming entrance. Those who came included many admired plants-people and this is Elizabeth Strangman, whose Kentish Nursery, Washfield, has had such influence on our gardens. The Show itself may not compare with the burgeoning benches further north, where the tradition of showing is so much stronger, but it gave an impressive representation of the diversity and beauty of alpine and woodland plants, and will certainly have stimulated interest in many gardeners who came. And finally a detail of one plant, Allium 'Cameleon', shown by Paddy Parmee, who has been so proactive in stimulating Alpine gardeners in Hampshire and beyond, especially in that novel place - the Social Media and Facebook.

A more concerted effort to portray the World of Alpines to a new generation of gardeners and refresh our outlook on these plants.
