Newington Garden Club Competition and Prizegiving

Oh, the things I don't know that are taking place all around me! I had no idea that such a lovely group of people gather every month to hear about gardening skills and share experiences and stories.

Today the group in Newington were exhibiting the best of their fruit, vegetables and flowers in a range of categories. What is encouraging is that there is a youth section who were keen to show me their efforts and were delighted to receive their prizes.

The friendly atmosphere and generous hospitality ensured that I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Tea and home-made cake are an excellent preparation for the prizegiving, which was an honour and a pleasure.
