AGM - 2024
NLHS AGM
The NLHS AGM will take place on 3rd April
followed by a talk by Mal Reynolds on
Chrysanthemums
I have rooted some 30 spray chrysanthemum cuttings which will be given away at the AGM. There are several varieties all of which are weather proof and can be grown in the garden borders. The deal is that those taking the cuttings will enter one vase in Class 64 in our September Show. The Class calls for a vase of three spray chrysanthemums.
Quality Vegetables from a small Garden/Allotment
Over the winter months the National Vegetable Society(NVS) has run a number of excellent zoom talks which were recorded and are presently available for members of the NVS on their website.
The latest talk was entitled “Growing Quality Veg on a Tiny Plot” an excellent talk by a member who has won red cards at several shows including the NVS National Show at Harrogate.
The talk is split into a number of sections which I will try to paraphrase below: It is in the articles section.

New Classes in Annual Show
Annual Produce and Flower Show - 9th Sept
Only 5 weeks to go until our show and I hope you are all getting an idea of what to pout in the different classes.
Two new exciting classes that should interest floral art exhibitors. Section 4 Floral Arrangement Class 69 and Section 6 Children’s Class 87. These two classes call for: A Flower Palette. Seven blooms, no more than two blooms of any one cultivar, no foliage. Staged on a palette provided by the NLHS.
The full Show Schedule can be downloaded here or a copy can be obtained from the Store. https://www.northlincolnhorticulturalsociety.co.uk/annual-show
I look forward to seeing plenty of exhibits in these classes.
