The annual event, held as part of the Crowhurst Village Summer Fayre, will, alongside the Fayre committee, commemorate the final year of the First World War (1918). Crowhurst and District Horticultural Society’s Chair, Mary Boorman, says there’s still time to enter, and you don’t have to be a member. “Please take a look at our schedules online (or, if anyone would like a paper version let us know). There is something for everyone, not just produce and flowers but also Photography, Craft, Cookery and Children’s classes.

“For the Centenary of the end of the First World War there is a ‘Handcrafted Red Poppy’ in the Craft Section and it would be so good if we could have many entries. I would love 100 entries so we can display these with great pride in respect of this event. They can be made from any materials, the more varied the better!
