Many people enjoy gardening despite the varied challenges of the ever changing English weather and the ongoing battles with garden pests.

The organisers of the show are looking for local green fingered residents who are proud of their home grown produce to enter the competitions at the Horticultural Marquee.

There will be many categories available to enter and all entries are free of charge.

There will be plenty of advice and assistance for people who have never entered before and a section for younger gardeners to encourage them to become our gardeners of the future!

Schedules are widely available in libraries and community buildings or from the Council Offices.

If you would like to enter or require more information please contact Melanie Jackson, Horticultural Coordinator at Ashfield District Council on 01623 457092.
