The highly efficient team who run the show tell me there were 247 entries totalling 361 plants in the Open section from 32 exhibitors. Section 2 had 5 entries from 4 exhiitors so well done to them.

Wow! What a super show and great report, Stan! Many, many thanks from those of us unable to attend. I think we missed very little, apart from the social company and retail therapy!!
