Welcome to Dawley Bank Horticultural Show 2009.

Hot off the press! Borough of Telford & Wrekin have finalised documentation DBHS  can go ahead with preparing a parcel of reclaimed land in Dawley Bank for allotment usage. See inside for location and details…

It is time to reconnect with our planet and take matters into our own hands, spend less time worrying and more time gardening; it is a myth to say ‘growing fresh fruit and veg is not something we are born with, gardening does not come naturally to all’.

Come along and join us in reawakening and trusting your instinct by planting, harvesting and working with nature. Of course you also need a little inspiration, motivation and some basic gardening equipment. The only mechanical piece of equipment you will ever need in the

garden is the wheelbarrow. Nothing is ever straight- forward in the

garden as in life; if it were many gardeners would give up at the first hurdle through sheer boredom.

Nature always throws in a few problems just to keep us on our toes, weather for instance; it’s too wet or too dry; too hot or too cold. Turn your back for a minute and weeds appear everywhere and just when everything is looking perfect a plague of greenfly attack your honeysuckle, the mower breaks down and the handle snaps off that spade which belonged to your dad.

Many problems are such that you can just live with them while others need only minor attention. 

Remember the essence of our show is fun and participation of all age groups and abilities.

In response to a request we have another craft section this year, ‘Any Craft’ please note that limited space means exhibits in this section should not exceed 12insx14ins.   

Good Luck

Carol
