Welcome to California Gardening Club Virtual Autumn Show 2021. Information on our Virtual Show is set out below – you are also advised to read the Rules below. Whilst we are sorry still not to be able to hold a face-to-face show just yet we still wanted to be able to provide some way for our Members and the local community to be able to show off some of their summer flowers and vegetables. Needless to say this Show cannot be quite the same as usual so we have identified just a few of the most popular previous show categories for your virtual show entries, and of course these will be submitted through a photograph. Please note that it is not the quality of the photograph that is being judged, although the clearer the photograph, the easier it will be to judge. The entries will be considered by one of our usual show judges. Please send any queries relating to the show to the Show Secretary Katie Bailey at katieB2104@outlook.com
The Show classes are as follows: Class 1 5 tomatoes – one variety Class 2 4 potatoes – one variety Class 3 3 types of vegetables (one picture of all three vegetables) Class 4 2 cucumbers - one variety Class 5 Vase of 3 Dahlias - one or mixed varieties Class 6 6 Fuschia florets – one or mixed variety Class 7 Vase of mixed flowers RULES
