Marlborough Horticultural Society Spring Show - Saturday 25th November
Join us at the Marlborough Horticultural Society Summer Show on Saturday 25th November!
This show has a focus on roses, with classes for novices as well as intermediates and open classes. If you'd like to give it a try showing your garden roses there will be MHS members available on Friday 24th Nov to help you stage your flowers. There are classes for many other summer flowers from vases of flowers to single stems of lilies,delphiniums, irises and stocks. If you grow fruit and veggies or houseplants we have classes for those too. Come and show your cauliflower, silverbeet or 3 potatoes of a single variety. We have many different classes and can help you stage them.
There are children's classes too and a new 'Decorate a hat with summer flowers' class for children aged 7 years and under. There will be a parade of the children wearing their hats at 2.30pm
The Bonsai Group will have a fabulous display of bonsai and the Floral Art Society will have many beautiful flower arrangements on display.
The Horticultural Society are selling exhibition dahlia tubers for a fundraiser for the Society. These are top quality exhibition tubers, which are ready to plant out and will be blooming and may be ready to exhibit at the next Show in February.
There will be a raffle, sponsored by Mitre 10 MEGA and lots of sales tables selling succulents, perennials and other choice plants. Tea and coffee are complementary at the event.
Admission is $2 at the door from 10am. Doors close at 3pm
Come and enjoy the flowers and support your local summer flower show!
