March saw a pretty bunch of Viola odorata take first place, this was brought in by Daphne.  In April we had a fine selection of spring flowering shrubs and bulbs.  Flower of the month was awarded to Annie - the Narcissi seen in the centre of the photo.  May - a graceful stem of Solomon's Seal was the winner this month, brought in by Val.  Well done to all who have participated this year.  Winner for the 2022/23 year is Val Gape.  Well done Val.
