GARDEN COMPETITION RESULTS 2017
LETHAM AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
GARDEN COMPETITION RESULTS 2017
The Letham and District Horticultural Society’s Annual Garden Competition held on 1 August proved once again to be very popular.
Despite the poor growing conditions affecting all the competitors, the garden competition attracted an increased number of entries in all its sections. There were a number of new entrants which was very encouraging and the judge, Roy Daniels of Kirkcaldy had a difficult task in selecting the prize winners.
The Tubs and Hanging Basket category all presented a riot of colour and range of flowers and the judge commented on the good use of both plants and colour in the displays.
The Landscaped Garden Competition as always proved popular with a large variety of designs and themes with all the gardens showing a vibrant display of colour, foliage and well-maintained lawns.
The Vegetable Gardens provided proof of the quality, variety and quantity of produce the keen gardeners had grown.
The hard work and enthusiasm of the competitors made it a rewarding day for the judge and the quality of the flowers and vegetables seen in the competition suggests there will be some close competition for those entering the 115th Annual Flower Show at Letham Village Hall on Saturday 12 August which opens to the public at 2.00pm.
Can we remind any entrants that our Cut Flower Section is an Open category to any resident within Fife. Any queries to Alison McDonald, Secretary Telephone 01337 810250.

For those wishing to attend the Show it opens to the public at 2.00 pm.
Waiting/Parking Restrictions 7th-11th Aug 17
Cllr Heer has kindly notified us of a temporary waiting restriction on The Row, Letham (for some reason Council officials didnt see fit to advise those of us that actually live in the village!) It is in force daytime Monday- Friday on 7th -11th August 2017. Whilst the order is in force it doesn’t mean that it will apply the whole length of the Row at the same time- it is to allow installation of the new lamposts.
