Eddleston Flower Show September 2007

Despite the very rainy and not so sunny summer, Eddleston Flower show once again had a record number of entries and lots of competition for prizes. As well as many regulars, this year also saw a number of new entrants who helped keep us all on our toes.

Jannette Dunlop. local resident and teacher at Eddleston Primary School, presented the prizes after which there was an auction of items remaining.

The Plant sale at the end of May 2008 was well attended with a total of £340 made on the day. Many thanks to everyone involved. Funds raised will be split between Eddleston Horticultural Society and Leadburn Community Woodland to help both continue their excellent work
