Blooming Ninfield boasts a wealth of gardening talent
A sunny warm day was the perfect backdrop to the event at Ninfield Memorial Hall.
Show organiser Rose Franks commented: “The lovely narcissi and other Spring flowers reminded us all of the freshness and beauty of this time of year. At 266, the number of entries was above average. Entries in the photography classes had increased and the standard was high. The varied handicraft items and beautiful flower arrangements again demonstrated how skilled local people are. The colourful hand print fishes entered by the Ninfield pre-school group showed how talent shows itself at a very young age.”
