Today we attended the Great Harwood Agricultural Show.
There were 9 club members in attendance at this show. Ray C, Mike, Peter, John D, John L, Kim, John R, Gary and Diane.
Our show consisted of over 75 individual trees, including accent plants, with various types and styles on display.
We arrived to set up before 7:30am and didn’t leave the show until after 5:30pm, so a long day. There was a very high attendance, and our tent was filled most of the dayT with very interested members of the public. There was a demonstration given by Ray C. on changing a bought Ilex Crenata into a bonsai, after a public reminder by the Great Harwood Town Cryer Rawden Kerr, who is also a member of the society.
There were plenty of refreshments available around the show, however extra cakes and buns were supplied by Diane.
The next full show will be between Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd July at the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Show, Salesbury Hall, Salesbury Hall Road, Ribchester, PR3 3XR.
