Sadly both the spring and summer flower shows in Wellington had to be cancelled this year, along with so many other planned events.

The flower show committee, however, have come up with a suggestion for the summer show which was to have been held next Saturday (August 22).

Show secreatry Sheena Page said: “We invite you to take a photo of what you might have entered – fruit, vegetables, flowers, pot plants or a mixture of some or all of these.

“Cakes, jams, craft items, pictures – anything you might have been thinking of entering in the show. There is no schedule as such, it’s just a bit of fun!

“If you put your items on a table and take a photo of them, the WWN has kindly agreed to publish some of these photos for a ‘virtual’ flower show.”

Photos should be sent to the secretary at [email protected] no later than Saturday, August 22. Entrants should just send their photo and give their name.

Sheena added: “There’s no prizes – it’s just a fun way to remember what would have been our 86th show. Hopefully things will be back to normal next year. Thank you all for your support in the past and we look forward to your photos.”
