Welcome to Naul Gardening and flower Club’s 32nd Annual Show. A very different show due to Covid-19.

  • We are very restricted with classes and unfortunately we cannot hold the Baking, Children’s section or Only horticultural and flower arranging.
  • Flower arrangements may be brought already made
  • There will be no prizemoney or entry fees, but all donations will be greatly accepted to cover insurance costs.
  • Most of the classes will be held outdoors where possible and a limited number will be allowed into the hall at any one time.
