Flower & Produce Show
Tuesday 5th August 2025, 2.00 – 5.00pm
Wootton Courtenay Village Hall
We are only three weeks away from this year’s Flower & Produce Show! Have you thought about what you’d like to bring along to exhibit on the benches?
The Schedules for this year’s Flower & Produce Show are in the village shop now. Please come and collect one – don’t miss out. There are many different classes to suit everyone. If you don’t have much of a garden, you can bake, knit, sew, take photographs, and/or create a flower arrangement to enter for the Show. Our advice sheet offers guidance on what the judges hope to see when they assess your entries. This is just a friendly guide, intended to help, not discourage! Click here to read the advice sheet.
Would last year’s winners return your cups to the Villagers’ Stores as soon as possible, please. Cups must be cleaned before returning.
This year’s photography themes are:
‘Village Life’
‘Vegetables’
‘Decay’ (think stone, wood, old buildings, etc)
ONE photograph in each category only, please, and photographs must have been taken since the last Flower & Produce Show in 2024. The pictures should be unmounted and the largest size of paper that they may be printed on is A4.
We are still looking for prizes for the Flower Show raffle, specifically for foodie treats – bottles of drink (alcoholic or otherwise), chocs, biscuits, etc – and gardening-related items. If you can help with any of those, please drop your donated prize off at the Villagers’ Stores next time you’re in there.
And a plea to all those of you who bake – if you’re willing to make a cake to grace the refreshments table, please contact Linda Stenner at whit.ps1954@gmail.com – and please let her know what kind of cake you will be bringing. All donated cakes very gratefully received.
The Flower & Produce Show provides the main source of income for the village Gardening Club. To find out how that money is used, click here to go to the Club page of the village website. In addition, any fruit and vegetables not claimed by exhibitors will go to the village shop to be sold in aid of the West Somerset Food Cupboard.
We’re into the final furlong now so take a look at your garden and choose the best on the day!
