Autumn Show 7th September 2024

We are delighted to be holding our Autumn Show in Ickenham Village Hall on Saturday 7th September. We will also have the results of our sunflower competition. This was launched at our spring show when we gave sunflower growing kits to families who wanted to take part.

All information about entering the show is in your blue Show Schedule 2024, or you can download the class list, entry form and hints and tips from the buttons below. All entries must be received by Thursday 5th September, staging your entries is from 8.30am-11.30am on Saturday 7th September and the show will be open to all for viewing from 2.30pm, with prize giving at 4.30pm. Refreshments with home made cakes are available throughout the afternoon.

We cannot emphasise enough that it is all about having a go and taking part in a fun community event. There are lots of different classes, including junior classes, and hopefully something to suit everyone, so do come and join us on 7th September. If you have any questions please email show managers Michelle and Rosemary at shows@ickenham-horticultural.org.uk .


 FAMILY SUNFLOWER COMPETITION FOR FAMILIES

If you picked up a sunflower kit at our spring show on 6th April we hope your sunflowers have grown really tall. Or you may have used your own seeds. Either way, please take a picture of yourselves with the sunflower and email it to sunflower@ickenham-horticultural.org.uk or bring it to the autumn show on 7th September. All entries will be published on the website after the show with the height noted and the family name. Please say if you prefer no name to be published.

There will be a prize for the family who have grown the tallest sunflower and all entrants will receive a certificate. The current tallest champion sunflower grown was in 2020 and a massive 335cm tall! Can you beat this?
