Nearly there and everything is in place!
I understand at least two people from outside Harrow Branch are entering. Unlike other shows, there is no limit to the number of entries in a class that one person can bring, so specialists can show off lots of their
chosen plants.
Best wishes,

I can't believe I am going to miss this one too. I've got family visiting from far away for the firt time and they are not into cacti/succulents...

It went very well! This year, there were a strong number of entries in the succulent classes (including a metre tall Madagascan Uncarina!) as well as many spectacular cacti. Alas rain made packing & unloading in the morning unpleasant, but it stayed dry for most of the time that the show was open. It was nice to meet many visitors again from neighbouring areas and sales trays were looking empty by the end of the day.
Best wishes,
Derek Tribble
