FLOWER POWER

By Steve Gerard IT was probably the late frost this year which was responsible for the rather fewer exhibitors and exhibits. The plants were judged by Wally Barns, the assessment of flower arrangements and potted plants fell to Eileen Foster and the photographs were adjudicated by David Bluff. The presentation of the Certificates of merit were awarded by Dorothy Loeffler, President of ESRA.
