WELCOME TO THE 2025/6 SEASON
The AUTUMN SHOW was another success with lots of lovely entries. Click here to see some photographs and to find out who won the trophies. During judging, local seed supplier Craolyn Ormesher of Missenden Seeds entertained us with a really interesting talk on Dahlias. Click here to find out more.
Our next talk is on October 2nd at 7.30pm, when celebrated peony grower Alec White will tell us all about these beautiful flowers of early summer. Alec has written books on peonies, exhibited at Chelsea Flower Show and runs Bedforshire based Primrose Hall nursery.
Please note that all talks will now start at the earlier time of 7.30pm and the hall will be open for show staging from 6.45pm. Please click here for 2025 Autumn Show Schedule.
