Crowds of visitors flocked to Burnham-On-Sea Horticultural Society’s annual Spring show on Saturday (March 8th).

Show Secretary David Bryant said the event, held in St Andrew’s School, had been another success with over 200 entries and a steady flow of visitors throughout the day.

“The mild winter has helped the quality of some classes,” he told Burnham-On-Sea.com. “The overall standard has been very good and it’s been particularly pleasing to some see new entrants this year in the childrens’ classes.”

The entries at Saturday’s annual event covered gardening, cookery, floral art and photography.

Alan Purnell was awarded the trophy for the best exhibit in the show for these hyacinths.

The trophy for cut flowers went to long-time grower Alan Pearce, seen here with a collection of his spring daffodils.

Show Secretary David Bryant congralates Lakin Earl, who was awarded the show’s Society Cup after winning 11 first places.

Beth Whetstone won several top prizes in the floral entry classes for her colourful entries.
