MONTHLY NEWS, INFORMATION & ENTERTAINMENT FOR GLENFIELD
The Show Must Go On! 21st August 2021 2:15pm at St. Peter’s Church Centre
THE GLENFIELD GARDENERS’ Annual Show has not taken place since 2019, but we know there are plenty of keen gardeners out there, and maybe some new lockdown growers too. It’s not just about your carrots, leeks and spuds! The Glenfield Gardeners’ Association (GGA) is an organisation that hosts a fruit, flowers, vegetables, handicrafts, preserves, art, photography, drinks and flower arranging show. It is a chance for the local people in our community to show off their talents and enter them into our show. What’s more, you don’t even have to be a member to join in. We’re not just for the wellies, spades and gardening gloves brigade (although you are more than welcome if you fit this description). There is something for everyone whether you are young, old or a child. If you are interested in entering this year’s show, or just want to know a bit more about what will be going on, this year’s show schedule is available on www.glenfieldgazette.com
