YOUNG GARDENERS' PAGE
The Autumn Show was held on 1 September at Christ Church Vision Hall. The show overall
was very successful but unfortunately there were again very few children’s entries.
We thank those who did attend -
A short report and pictures are given below as well as a summary of Children’s classes that were available.
We look forward to more children and entries next year as the show will not be held during the school holidays.

Children’s entries in September 2018 Autumn Show
Despite all efforts to publicize the event,we were disappointed in that there were again very few children’s entries, due in part to the timing of school Summer holidays. However we were delighted to see those who did put in entries and congratulate you on your efforts which were of a high standard. All the results are shown below.
In particular we congratulate Jessica Hill on winning the Phillimore Plaque and Emerson
Newman the Newberries Plaque -
Introduced this year was a new Section called The Young Ones for children of 3 to 6 years old and the first Young Ones Plaque was won by Evie Coldham. Both she and her elder brother Oliver jointly entered a fine cucumber which they had grown but Evie’s photographic entry just beat that of her brother. Very well done to both of you.
For interest to those who were unable to enter, details of all the Children’s classes are included at the end of this page.
Note that all Children’s entries, including those in the Novice Classes are free.
So why not enter next year and win a prize -
