Garden competition success bodes well for 115th flower show

The Letham and District Horticultural Society’s annual garden competition proved once again to be very popular this year.

Despite poor growing conditions, the competition attracted more entries in all sections and the quality suggests there will be some close competition for those entering the 115th Annual Flower Show at Letham Village Hall on Saturday, which opens at 2pm.

The cut flower section is open to any resident within Fife and any queries should be made to the secretary Alison McDonald on 01337 810250.
