GARGUNNOCK FLOWER SHOW IS BLOOMING GREAT
Despite the wet spring, and summer masquerading as autumn, Gargunnock Flower Show proved to be another great event.
Entrants laboured over preparation of vegetables, flowers, baking and handcrafts to give the judges a difficult task.
Children’s entries were amazing and organisers would like to thank the village’s primary school for encouraging the youngsters to enter.
The small committee who run the show could not do so without the many friends and volunteers who give their help and those who support the show with their entries.
The tearoom was busy and as the sun made a welcome appearance in the afternoon and tea on the patio was enjoyed by many.
A spokesperson said:“It was great to see new names on winning tickets along with the faithful few who regularly support the show.”
