A popular summer show celebrating gardening and the natural world is set to return this year.
The Uplyme and Lyme Regis Horticultural Society will be holding its summer show at the Uplyme Village Hall and Playing Field on Saturday, August 3 from 2pm to 5pm.
The theme for this year will be herbs and visitors can attend many classes throughout the day to learn about herb posy, fruit and herb jam, herb jelly, herb bread rolls, herb scones, rosemary and orange cake.
Visitors can also expect to find a competition marquee filled with more than 120 competition classes, free for anyone to enter whether novices, experienced gardeners, children, or keen bakers.
There will also be stalls for plants, produce and books plus a raffle, and the Potato in a Bucket competition with entrants trying to beat last year’s record-breaking entry of over 2kg of potatoes.
Throughout the afternoon there will be demonstrations and talks covering herbs, willow weaving, dahlia growing, driftwood sculptures, woodworking and yarn spinning.
Stalls and educational exhibits include nurseries and plant sellers, garden art and plant supports, bird ringing, bees and honey products, and several local environmental and conservation groups.
For children there will be a sensory trail for the younger ones, a chance to see and learn about alpacas and an opportunity for families have a go at croquet.
Entry to the show is only £1 for all adults, free for those 16 and under.
