Record entries at Westfield Horticultural Society’s Spring Show

The event was held at Westfield Community Hall, on Saturday, April 6 and the society’s Chairman, Catherine Collingwood said it couldn’t have gone better. “What a wonderful display of all things Spring from the gardens of the lovely people of Westfield,” she said.

“We received a record number of entries for modern times from people of all ages, and were amazed to see so many colourful daffodils and tulips and other Spring flowers.

“We were delighted and proud to have 18 entries from under 16’s and stunned by their talents.

“The Junior cup was awarded to Milo Stratford, 15 for his ball game constructed from metal and acrylic.

“The handicrafts section were also of a very high standard, and the Floral Art had it’s highest number of entries for some time.

“There were four classes in the Photography section attracting a whopping 44 entries - Birds, Bees & Butterflies, Travel, Dawn to Dusk and Photo Imaging, and also some stunning works of art.

“A delicious dairy free cake was awarded the Lilian Skinner trophy for the best exhibit.
