Annual Horticultural Show set to be blooming marvellous GREENFINGERED growers are encouraged to get involved in the everpopular Hartlepool Horticultural Show, which returns to the town next month. Hailed as one of the biggest annual events in the Hartlepool calendar, the Horticultural Show will take place at the Town Hall Theatre on Saturday 19 August, 12.30pm to 5pm and Sunday 20 August, 11am to 4pm. The colourful event will showcase the finest flowers and vegetables across the North East, including champion carnations, dahlias, fuchsias, and sweet peas to name but a few as well as prize vegetables. Growers who are top of the crops could pick up cash prizes for best display within each category and the Tom Hammond Special Award for best display in show. Youngsters are also encouraged to take part, with childrens categories including best fruit or vegetable man, best picture of a garden and best small cake. Show Secretary Tom Hammond said, The standard of entries we see each year is always outstanding and never fails to impress the judges. Were really looking forward to seeing some of the best displays from around the region. Whether youre a seasoned pro, just getting into gardening or a spectator, its a fun, free day out which the whole family will enjoy. We urge everyone to come along and try their luck in this years show. The National Gladiolus Society will also be holding its northern exhibition at the show, attracting growers from all over England. The closing date for entries is Friday 18 August 2017.
