The Flower Show

The annual Flower Show in the Village Hall was a major event in the village. Local people spent hours preparing their prize entries. It wasn’t just a matter of growing the biggest marrow or the reddest tomato. There were prizes for flowers, flower arranging, country crafts like fruit bottling and jam making, cake making, knitting and sewing, and for children, a chance to show off their hobbies and penmanship. Margaret Wright, nee Hammond, remembers “The annual flower show was a very important event and competition was very keen, almost vicious at times!. There was a lot of jealousy and back-biting as to who should or should not have been awarded a prize. Wonderful vegetables though and grown with such pride.’ Below are a few cuttings taken from the Kent & Sussex Courier. Do you recognise any of the names?

The eleventh annual show of the Blackham and Ashurst Horticultural Society was held on Saturday. Dry weather had a marked effect on the standard of entries which were also somewhat fewer this year. The show was opened by the president, Mrs Cronk, who was afterwards presented with a bouquet by 2½ year old Pamela Allen. Sideshows were run by Mrs Gasson, Miss L Crowhurst, Miss I Allen and Mr C Allen. During the afternoon Messrs G Allen and H Crowhurst arranged sports for the children. At a dance in the evening, Mrs Jupe’s trio provided music. SPECIAL PRIZES Prizes were presented by Mr McDermott, last year’s president. Mr Hider of Ashurst, won the ‘Highfields’ Cup for the best cottage garden. The ‘Stone Cross’ Cup was retained by Hartwell House (gardener G Allen) for obtaining most points in the open division. The ‘Thurlestone’ Cup was also won by Mr P Hider for obtaining most points in the cottager’s division. The ‘Lodgefield’ Cup was won by Mrs Gasson for gaining most points in the women’s section.

A bumper year for Mrs Floyd

While the reporting, with its implication that it was surprise that a woman could garden as well as a man, might raise a few eyebrows today, there is no doubt that 1952’s shows belonged to Mrs Floyd

‘Green-fingered’ woman beats men exhibitors As keen a gardener as any in Blackham is Mrs E Floyd of Watch Oak. And when it came to Blackham & Ashurst Horticultural Society’s annual flower show on Saturday, Mrs Floyd, a recent exhibitor in the WI section of the Chelsea Show, was able to teach the men a thing or two. With six first prizes, two seconds and three thirds in the open division alone, she collected the highest number of points and won the Stone Cross Cup. Her cottage garden was judged to be the best in the village and won her the Highfields Cup. In this, she beat Mr C Gasson, winner of the Thurlestone Cup for the highest points in the cottagers’ division, by half a point. Mrs A Caffyn was the winner of the Lodgefield Cup for the highest points in the domestic division. The show – the 14th to be staged by the society – attracted about 200 entries.
