Summer Show 2025
Froxfield and Privett Garden Club welcomed members and visitors to its recent Summer Show at Froxfield Village Hall on 16th August. Despite the lack of rain over the past few months there was a wide range fruit, vegetables and flowers, with an increase in both the total number of entries and the number of exhibitors.
The most popular classes were for Dahlias and Any Other Flowers. There was also a large increase in the number and variety of fruit on display in the Any Other Fruit class.
Chairman Elizabeth Houghton-Connell welcomed visitors and gave a resume of the club’s activities over the past few months. She complimented exhibitors on how well they have coped with the difficult growing conditions this year.
This year the Banksian Medal for the most points over both our Spring and Summer Shows was won by Phoebe Hiscock for the first time because of her wide range of entries in both shows.
Both the Dahlia trophy and the Cookery cup were won for the first time by their respective recipients.
The flower arrangement classes provided a variety of entries. The large arrangements on the theme of Awesome Austen were the dominant feature of the end wall of the hall, with the trophy for the best arrangement in the show going to Patsy Langmead for her arrangement in this class.
The pictures of butterflies produced by the children at Froxfield Primary School provided a large colourful display.
Elizabeth Houghton-Connell closed the event by thanking the committee for their hard work in setting up the show and the exhibitors for producing the entries.
