WELLINGTON Flower Shower saw a record number of exhibitors at the spring show. 

The show took place on Saturday (April 1) at Wellington School.

Sheena Page, of the flower show, said: "The faithful growers of Wellington, West Buckland, Bradford on Tone, Churchstanton, and Shepton Mallet, have never let us down and we were delighted that on Saturday we had the largest number of exhibitors and entries since the inception of the show in 2000.

"The only disappointment was that there were no entries in the children’s classes.

"That aside, over a hundred visitors were treated to  wonderful displays of spring bulbs and blooms, with different varieties of daffodils and tulips on show6, camellias and hellebores, primulas and orchids.

"The most popular class is always a vase of spring flowers and this year’s winner was new exhibitor Dawn Porter with a lovely vase of yellow and white narcissi, tulips, hyacinths and hellebores.

"The committee would like to thank all exhibitors and visitors, as well as the judge, Phil Kerton.

"Thanks also to Wellington Prep School for the hire of the hall and to Langford Village Hall for the use of crockery."

The next show will take place on Saturday, August 26.
