Ramsbottom Horticultural Society 7 April 2013

This show is always well supported by both society members and the local community.  It has a comprehensive schedule which includes a wide range of classes. The Daffodil section was well entered (in spite of the continuing cold weather) with just under a hundred vases staged,  134 blooms  for judge Ian Tyler to consider.
