at Bedales School.
Thank you to everyone who joined us last year. We had torrential rain followed by hot sunshine, but it didn't matter to those who came. It was great to have so many participants and visitors who enjoyed drinking more tea and eating more cakes than ever! We are full of praise for everyone who managed to grow an entry despite the torrid weather conditions (and ongoing deer predation). The marquee, as ever, as you walked into it was an uplifting sight of beautiful flowers -as well as vegetables, art, photography, crafts, preserves and stunning cakes!
We will continue keeping as many elements of the event as sustainable as possible, as well as making it a joyful highlight of the village calendar. In 2022 we introduced the new Sustainability Trophy and it's back this year so hopefully, you’ll not only enter but pick up a few more tips for your own sustainable gardening.
Please enter as many classes as you can. There really is something that everyone can have a go at, from age 4 upwards. To help us with this, we’d be really grateful if you would save paper by filling in the entry form through the link below. (The link and online payment will be active from mid-July)
So, ink the date into your diary and bring your friends and family to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere, flowers, vegetables, fruit, art, photos, crafts, music from a National Youth Jazz Orchestra quartet, raffle, tombola, outdoor games, produce stall and of course… lots of yummy cake!
