The Brightwater Horticultural Society Spring Show was held at the Brightwater Public Hall on Saturday 26th September.
There were a total of 325 daffodil stems on display, a beautiful display of Cut Flowers, and 28 amazing entries in the Floral Art classes.
As in recent years, Steph Wills had a large collection of cacti and succulent varieties on display, with many also available for sale at her stall.
This was the first show at which we used paper towels instead of moss to support exhibits. The Society supplied the paper towels and will continue to have them available, but we would appreciate it if exhibitors could eventually supply their own.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our show possible.
