Show Schedules are available both in print and download format.. The schedule contains everything you need to know. Read it thoroughly. It is a guide both for exhibitors and judges. It states clearly what is required for each class. Never hesitate to seek guidance at the earliest opportunity if interpretation is needed. The schedule will be your constant guide, from selecting what to exhibit to the final staging. If you would rather receive a hard copy of the schedule email [email protected] and we will arrange to send you one by post.
If our shows are to succeed we need the support of all HSHS members and the local community. Don’t be reluctant, have a go! One entry or more from every HSHS member or visitor would guarantee a super show. There are classes to suit all including novices and juniors. If in doubt seek advice. There are lots of friendly, enthusiastic, experienced people around, delighted and willing to assist.
If showing is not your thing come along for the plant sale, browse the book stall and garden tools and equipment stall and sit and enjoy the wonderful exhibits over home made cakes, tea and coffee with friends. Everyone welcome.
