Crawley Horticultural Society Annual Flower and Pelargonium Show June 2018

This is a very small Annual Show and they have incorporated the Pelargonium Group Annual Show, as they did last year.   I enjoy visiting as I have a couple of friends who also either enter the show or, like me, visit in the afternoon.    Sadly the entries for the pelargonium classes were rather low this year, probably partly due to the odd weather we had - going from spring to summer almost overnight. Also, sadly, the membership of the Society is declining, like many others countrywide.  Next year they have decided to just incorporate the pelargoniums unto the show, i.e. have an Annual Summer Show with a few classes for pelargoniums, much like our village show.

























Is this not the cutest aubergine you have ever seen?

Polesden Lacey is the first National Trust property to be open every day  (apart from 'staff training' days which turned out to be an AGM at Dorking ...
