Camellias, rhododendrons, daffodils and paeonias helped to make a spectacluar display at this month's Show. The overall standard was extremally high with exhibitors from as far a field as Scotland and Cornwall.

Along with some stunning displays from leading exhibitors, there were three competitions in the Lawrence Hall. Home gardeners brought along daffodils, camellias and rhododendrons to the show bench for this early season challange.

The judges awarded a total of five Gold Medals.

	Broadleigh Gardens won a Gold for an exhibit of daffodils and other bulbous plants
A Gold was awarded to a display of various conifers staged by Lincluden Nursery
	Edrom Nurseries from Scoland was also awarded a Gold for a display of bulbous and herbaceous plants
The display of cacti and succulent plants from Southfield Nurseries also won a Gold
	The fifth Gold was awarded to Burncoose Nurseries from Cornwall for an exhibit of trees, shrubs and other ornamental plants

The plants are the stars...

	Magnolia sprengeri var. diva 'Burncoose', exhibited by Burncoose Nurseries, was one of the highlights of the show
