Kilmington Flower Show

The village hall looked stunning with 224 entries for this year’s annual flower show. Heavy rain throughout the afternoon did not deter competitors and local residents from turning out to see the beautiful flowers, fruit and vegetables on display.

Everyone enjoyed the very sociable gathering, with tea coffee and an array of homemade cakes on offer. The RHS Banksian medal awarded to the overall champion for horticulture went to Mike Hawkins.

The Parish Council Award for the Best Allotment went to Nigel Phillips.

Thank you and congratulations to all our prize winners and to everyone who entered. Thanks also to the helpers and the cake-makers and to the Gardening Club Committee for organising a great event.

What’s coming up in September

Friday, 13th September Creative Gardening with Bulbs by Lady Christine Skelmersdale

Good Gardening

Kilmington has fertile soil, soft Devon climate, and a long tradition of good gardening.

Since its foundation more than 60 years ago, the village ‘Produce Association’ has spread its influence far beyond carrots and cabbages, offering talks and demonstrations by experts who understand the needs of the novice with a window box as well as the gardener with an acre or two.

We hold a plant market, open our gardens, arrange visits and host a summer Flower Show. We are ready to share our enthusiasm for plants and gardens with everyone, old or young, resident or visitor.

 

Kilmington Kids’ Corner

There are lots of ideas for growing your own vegetables and flowers.
