This years Portishead Flower Show and Country Fair is to be held on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July 2008 and we are delighted to announce that the English Garden Magazine will be hosting their Road Show at this years event. The Show is organised by the Portishead Horticultural Society annually for the benefit of the Town and the surrounding area and is one of the largest Flower Shows in North Somerset. The Society was formed in 1863 and currently has over 400 members. The Society is affiliated to the Somerset Federation of Gardening Clubs and the Royal Horticultural Society. In addition to the Show the Society have monthly meetings with talks from speakers who can offer advice and guidance on all manner of gardening problems, we have a number of excellent speakers lined up for the forthcoming year. Full details appear on the site. The cost of membership is currently £8.00 and for this you get the opportunity to see 12 speakers and free entry to the Summer Flower Show! Whilst we are a horticultural society we are effectively a group of people who are interested in gardening, whether it be a small plot, a window box or on a grand scale. We are particularly keen to welcome new members for example people who have moved to Port Marine or the Village Quarter who have recently acquired a garden for the first time who may be looking for inspiration and practical advice. The Show is held in The Flower Show Field, Clapton Lane, Portishead, North Somerset. We have three marquees which are filled with exhibits and traders and Arena Events run throughout the two days. The Show is run by the Committee ably supported by numerous volunteers, and we would welcome new volunteers to help out at the 2008 Show. If you would like to know more come along to one of our meetings, see Events page for dates. SPONSORSHIP We can offer a number of sponsorship opportunties to businesses for example sponsorship of an Arena Event or Class. If you would like further information on this please call 01275 817350. Full details of this years Show can be found on our Events page. For a brief report on last years Show, click on the link Show Report.
