CARHAMPTON Gardening Club hosted their Annual Flower and Produce Show on Saturday, September 7.
The annual show welcomed an increase in entries for most categories compared to 2023, despite two days of continuous rain prior to the event.
A spokesperson for the show committee said: “Thanks to all the helpers in the preparations of the show, stewards on the day, competitors and the judges.”
Greta Thrush, one of the club's founder members, presented the trophies.
