Trophy winners were Colin Dorrington (best standard fuchsia), Julie Williams (best basket fuchsia), Elaine Jones (floating flower display), Merle Clare (multi plant class), Janet Pickering (judge’s rosette) and Les Smith (best pot plant, best in show and points winner).

The society meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm at St Werbergh’s Centre, Brook Street, Chester.
