The first of the local flower shows takes place tomorrow and Sunday, an old-fashioned event which is strictly policed with not a cheap-jack trader or tacky funfair in sight. This show has flowers and plants, lots of them in a marquee reminiscent of flower shows of days gone by. Displays of delphiniums stand cheeck by jowl with begonias, roses and bonsai trees. Several nurseries set up displays on old fashioned jet black staging. The whole marquee is a riot of colour. A brass band plays on the lawn and visitors are treated to real home cooking in the Local Foods tent and to a display of Local Crafts in the crafts tents.
Let's hope the sun shines.

If I was there I would go and get dressed and meander in this amazing sounding flower show. We have a beautiful section of an island in Montreal that each year has a different theme, the flowers are exquisit. This has reminded me of it, thanks Jas.
