The Annual Garden Competition is still being held by the Horticultural Society as is the Floral Window Competition. Over the years these have been hugely successful and the only time the garden competition was put into mothballs was during the world wars, both first and second. Before someone corrects me on that I know that there were some flower shows held during those times as fund raisers with the proceeds going to the “comfort fund”.
While the spring Flower Show may have been mothballed for this year the garden competition has not fallen victim to the current health restrictions and the gardens in Warwick are looking great despite the dry conditions.
