Sunday 27th September

What to expect?

All the stuff you would think of when it comes to a Harvest Festival, but just in our own little ways. The day comes complete with: animal vegetables, Morris dancing, crafts with corn/wheat and of course, scarecrows!

Competition (Get involved!) 50p per entry.

There will be three elements to the competition if you would like to enter any of them. They will then be voted on by visitors to the Gardens on that day.

These include:

1. Vegetable animals – any animal (fictional or otherwise!) made out of fruit and vegetables, no bigger than an A4 piece of paper – think of those lovely cauliflower sheep!
2. Flowers in the Most Interesting Vessel – an arrangement of flowers of any sort, dried or otherwise, in any vessel you choose (for instance a Wellington Boot!). The vessels shouldn’t be excessively large and need to be able to be put atop a trestle table.
3. Scarecrows – whether out of straw or not (old clothes and socks would do!), these should be anywhere from 2ft up to about 6ft, and can be of famous people or not.

Click Here to enter the competition. You can pay on the day.

The idea is that the competition is FUN and not something to become overly serious about.

Entry from 10:30 until the end of the day at about 16:30.

At 14:00, Beorma Morris will lead us in some border revelry, before a final gathering and announcing of the awards.
