This year’s Wootton Courtenay Flower & Produce Show on 1st August was a big success. Here is a selection of photographs from the day. The photographers are Greta Gardner (GG), Bill Hodgson (BH) and Ingrid Popplewell (IP). Their initials appear at the bottom of their photos. If you want a full sized version of a photo, please contact the relevant photographer.
Many of the photos are only partly visible on this page, so click on a photo to see it in full, then use the arrows on either side to scroll through them. They are not full-screen images as that would take too long to upload. Please note, this webpage may take a minute or two to upload completely due to the capacity of its content.
