We are looking for some new volunteers to help keep our event going. We are all getting older and a few of our supporters have dropped by the wayside. It would involve one meeting per month in the grounds of Pestalozzi plus a few days in August when the event is held.

SEDLESCOMBE AND DISTRICT GARDENING SOCIETY SPRING SHOW: Saturday April 7 - Spring Show Sedlescombe Village Hall - 2.00 p.m Usually, by the end of February there is a glut of daffodils, but this year, due to the really cold weather, they are a bit slow in coming through. Fingers crossed in 5 weeks’ time the Village Hall will be awash with daffodils and other Spring flowers. Apart from the customary Cut Flowers, Pot Plants and Vegetable sections there are a number of other classes that would suit most peoples’ tastes and abilities. The main Floral Art title is “Over The Rainbow” and our men only title is “Royal Air Force 100th Anniversary” - so why not have a go? There is a good selection of classes in the Domestic Section including a “Beatrix Potter Tea Party” and a Carrot Cake. Also some interesting items in the Handicraft, Photographic and Young Gardeners sections all of which you will find in your Show Schedule. Please try to send your entry form to the Show Secretary by Tuesday 3rd April as there is a lot of work to do in the days leading up to the Show. Staging of Entries - 8.00 a.m. to 10.15 a.m. For more details of classes or information in general please contact the secretary Email: [email protected] or Visit the Society’s Website: www.sedlescombegardensociety.org.com
