Gardeners, growers, handicraft hobbyists, cooks and amateur photographers alike are being invited to take part in Burnham-On-Sea & District Horticultural Society’s 42nd annual show.
There are 10 sections and 133 classes to be entered with cups, shields, medals, trophies and tankards to be won.
Brent Knoll’s Garden World will be the venue for the show for the sixth year running on Saturday August 8th and Sunday August 9th.
The Society’s Treasurer, Les Wallis, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We’re expecting a good turn out in all sections and classes, but are still keen to make sure as many people as possible get involved with the show and ensure it is a great success.”
“The Society is always keen to hear from people who would like to get involved and to join us.”
The sections in which competitors are invited to enter include floral art, junior, domestic, handicraft, such as hand-made cards, crochet and knitted items, cross stitch and tapestry.
People will also be able to enter sections for amateur photography, pot plants, flowers, wines, fruit and vegetables.
Classes will be available for children in two categories, under 11-year-olds and 11 to 16-year-olds.
Visitors to the show will also be able to see entries of photographs, paintings, computer-generated posters and cards, and homemade wine.
Entrants in the Burnham Allotment Society sponsored classes will be showing off what they hope will be the heaviest home-grown onions and potatoes in the area and the longest runner beans.
Details on how to enter, fees and a complete list of classes can be obtained from the Annual Show Secretary, David Bryant, who also works at the garden centre, on 01278 761111.
