Blooming Brilliant!
Recored breaking amounts of visitors attended the Flower Show on 16th - 18th September this year to see the stupendous, and somewhat strange flowers, fruits and vegetables that people from all over Yorkshire had to offer. From fish heads and volcano dust to llama manure and vacuum cleaner dust, generations of gardening enthusiasts have tried many weird and wonderful ingredients in their bid to find the perfect recipe for growing monster vegetables. Now visitors to the Flower Show will have the chance to see the fruits in the flesh! From massive marrows to tremendous tomatoes the show wowed its audience with the impressive results of years of breeding large fruit and vegetables. The winner of the big vegetable competition was 61-year-old Normal Holmes, whose awesome aubergine won the votes of the judges. Norman said that "the show has been fantastic and I feel very proud to have won! Seems like all my hard work has finally paid off". The series of classes for giant vegetables is just one of the new developments launched this year to mark the 100th anniversary of the North of England Horticultural Society (NEHS), the charity which runs the Harrogate Flower Shows. The beautiful array of flowers amazed crowds of people, and we can be sure to expect just as many, if not more people coming to the show next season!
