      Barbara Tyndall grew the best Fuchsia August 2023

      Annual Plant Competition

      Each year in March members can purchase a small plug plant.. The plants are then nurtured by their owners until August when we run a competition for the best grown plant.


      In 2023 it was a Fuchsia and we had 28 entries with the full range of sizes, flowers and health on display. Thank you to everyone who brought their plant back, and made the competition so much fun.


      Barbara Tyndall won the prize for the best Fuchsia.. There was also a consolation prize for the poorest plant which Myra Wilkinson won with her rather sickly specimen.
