Spring Flower Show

Display of daffodils at the Spring Flower Show The Society holds a Spring Flower Show on the first Saturday in April and a Summer Flower Show on the first Saturday in August. The shows are held in Nailsea School, Mizzymead Road, Nailsea.

Report from Spring Show 2021

Nailsea & District Horticultural Society held their first ever Virtual Spring Flower Show on Saturday 3rd April. The show was a great success with Chair Martyn Davis commenting, “We were very pleased with the number of exhibitors and the quality of their entries.” The show had over 40 entries across its 15 classes and was well attended by online visitors. All the entries can still be seen on the show’s Facebook Page, www.facebook.com/NailseaSpringFlowerShow.

The Society is hoping to get back to normal in the near future. “We look forward to holding our traditional shows as soon as we are able,” said Martyn, “and hope that everyone who has enjoyed entering the virtual show will come along and show everyone what they can do”.

The first prize winners in each class can be seen in the picture gallery below (please accept my apologies for the cropping of some photographs, to enable them to display with minimum distortion).
