Wincanton and District Gardeners’ Association has reluctantly decided to cancel its shows this year.

The committee reviewed its planned scheduled activities for 2021 in response to the covid-19 pandemic. This has resulted in the monthly talks being suspended and the Rose & Sweet Pea Show being cancelled. Sadly, it has also been decided to cancel the 2021 Flower Show, scheduled for September 4.

Association secretary Gill D’Arcy said: “This was not an easy decision, as it is a very popular event and the pinnacle of our gardening year. Planning by the committee is undertaken throughout the year and in the current situation this cannot take place. In these uncertain times our association cannot sustain a potential financial loss, if we were to proceed and subsequently have to cancel.”

“We can only hope, that as the virus becomes controlled, we will be able to resume some form of normality. This may be able to happen later in the year, in which case we will publicise our events. Thank you for your support and understanding. In the meantime, happy gardening and enjoy the summer.”
