Petersham Horticultural Society Annual Flower Show – 3rd July
This year again Covid has stopped us having are traditional flower show in the Village Hall on Bute Avenue. However, the committee is determined to spread some horticultural joy this year by running an exhibition along Petersham Road in the the ‘slip road’ (between the click studio and the dentist) with tables on the ends of the residents’ drives. We hope that you will come and join the fun.
This is a fun, spur of the moment, have a go show with no formal entry system – just turn up and (if you like) put your name on your entry. If you wish to join the PHS there will be a stall for you to do this on the day, but there is no formal payment for entry.
The judging may not be to RHS standard this year, the competition, although keen, will still be fun. As the show is along a main road the PHS can not guarantee the safety of your entry, therefore please do not enter anything precious to you.
Obviously we are in a time of COVID therefore we ask everyone to follow government guidelines and maintain social distance. As the display is on all day if it is busy please come back later.
