Charlbury Garden Society

Spring Show Schedule 2018

SPRING SHOW
Saturday 6 April 2019
Memorial Hall, Charlbury
Show open from 12 noon - 4pm
Admission FREE
There is one cup to be awarded at this Show, the Ian Tolputt Cup, for the Best Exhibit in the Show. There is no prize money.

The Spring Show can be a wonderful sight. Segregating daffodils into different classes shows their variation and subtle colour changes to best effect. Don't forget the other classes especially tulips and flower arrangements. Plant material for the arrangements (classes 14-17) need not have been grown by the exhibitor.

NARCISSI
These blooms are commonly called daffodils. Narcissi is the generic name for all of these. There are in fact 12 different divisions and upward of 26,000 cultivars of daffodils so classification can be a problem. The Society has simplified this classification for the purposes of this Show so if you are uncertain, bring your blooms along on the morning of the show and consult the Show Team. Note that the diameter of the cup is not relevant for classification purposes; it is the length of the cup that is important.

For further information please download the schedule.

Showing Tip: Pick daffodils three days before the show when they are just beginning to open. Keep for two days in a cool place then bring them into the warm the day before the show.
