Some photos of members (starring Glassford Sprunt) who visited or helped on the stand on Saturday plus a photo of the Alf Evans Award for the best alpine display in the whole Show being presented to Stella and David Rankin of Kevock Garden Plants.  Last year the SRGC team staged a joint stand with Kevock (Stella and David have been SRGC members for a long time) and received the training they needed to be able to go it alone this year. We’ve still a way to go to rival our mentors but intend to have an even better display next year.

Liz - so lovely to see those pictures. I wonder how many visitors were completely nonplussed by that remarkable lily? We only have a very small group down here in Kent but seeing the SRGC display is highly encouraging for what we hope to do next year at the local Kent Show. But we wont have those wonderful celmisias and meconopsis, and nor Lilium lophophorum! Good luck for next year.
