The Annual Shows
SVGA Annual Shows
Arguably, the highlights of any Gardening Association year are the Spring and Autumn Shows. These showcase our members hard work throughout the seasons in a formal but easy going setting. Classes can include flowers, vegetables, cookery, flower arranging and craft for both adults and children. Schedules detail what and how to show your produce and then you turn up on the morning of the show to display them. The show is closed to the public while judges assess the entries and then it opens again in the afternoon for everyone to see the entries and how they got on. There are a number of prizes and trophies for winners which are presented at the end of the day.
