West Cornwall Spring Show | West Cornwall Spring Show

The West Cornwall Horticultural Society exists to stimulate interest in horticulture and to encourage people of all ages to grow, exhibit and appreciate the wide range of plants and flowers that can be grown in West Cornwall.

Unfortunately due to Covid-19 Lockdown the AGM of West Cornwall Horticultural Society (due to take place 21st April 2020) will be moved to a later date.

We will advise when this will be in due course.

Thank You.

Many hours and many helpers today means we are on schedule (if I might say a little ahead!) for the show.

Staging for exhibitors from 2pm to 8pm tomorrow.
Show opens to the public at 11am on Friday.

Magnolia Monday! The flowers that have influenced our new design.....
These photos were taken over the weekend and although the weather has been rubbish this winter - these Magnolia Trees have still produced the most amazing flowers.
I’m sure we will see many examples of these and other species in the show next week.
As well as viewing the best that West Cornwall has to offer there are lots of experienced and well respected Gardeners’ on the committee that will be available to share their knowledge and answer questions you have to improve your gardening skills😊
Hope to see you next week!

Popped into Hidcote Gardens on the North side of the Cotswolds this afternoon whilst away for a few days. Beautiful sunny day and caught up with one of our committee members who is now Head Gardener here. Also worth noting that as well as Lottie, we have other head Gardeners’ from several popular Gardens in West Cornwall. They will be in attendance during the show and a great source of gardening knowledge should you wish to tap them up......
