Over 250 floral, vegetable and craft entries went on display at Burnham-On-Sea and District Horticultural Society’s annual summer show on Saturday (August 10th).
The event, held at Burnham-On-Sea Community Centre, drew a steady flow of visitors through the day to see colourful flowers and other entries, including photos and crafts.
Among the entries was a 22 and three quarter inch runner bean — which won the award for the longest in its class — along with bumper marrows and onions.
Show secretary David Bryant told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Entry numbers were slightly down on some years but the quality was again excellent.”
“It has been a difficult growing year due to the changeable weather — we have had extreme hot temperatures, high winds and heavy rain at different times in recent weeks!”
The winners were presented with their awards by Ken Hindle from the community centre.
