2025 Flower Show Results

We had a successful Summer Flower Show at St Stephen’s Church Hall this year, despite the heatwave creating problems for our exhibitors, who still managed to enter 62 exhibits. We also had 6 entries for the members’ Art Show, all with very different interpretations of this year’s theme ‘A Walk in the Park’. Thank you to everyone who exhibited, without you, there would not be a show.

Our Chair, Peter, welcomed our guest the Mayor, Councillor Margaret Greer, who said she was delighted to be invited to the show and spoke appreciatively of the efforts of members in producing their exhibits. We then had a wonderful surprise, as our Mayor loves to sing and has a wonderful voice which we discovered when she sang a few phrases to express her appreciation of Luigi’s playing of light jazz on his saxophone. With no more ado, Luigi came back to the floor and accompanied the Mayor in an impromptu performance of a couple of songs, including ‘Summertime’ which delighted us all. Many thanks to Luigi for entertaining us throughout the afternoon!

It was lovely to welcome so many of our members and visitors to the show, and everyone enjoyed some delicious homemade cakes and the opportunity to chat with friends. Many thanks to those who kindly donated the cakes, and thanks also to Evelyn, Sam and Jan for their excellent service on the refreshment table.

Thank you to all our members who helped with the organisation of the show, both before in the preparation stage and on the day of show and to all those who took part in or attended the show and awards ceremony and helped the Society by purchasing sweepstake tickets.

Sadly, it seems like the Flower Show will be the last one to be held at St Paul’s. We have had many wonderful shows there and this year’s was another. Every year our members think that with adverse weather conditions, their exhibits will not be good, but as usual, we had a splendid selection of sweet peas and roses. The popular vases of mixed flowers were also of a very high standard. This year, potted plants were moved from our annual show to the flower show. This gave them more room to be shown and there was a really good selection. The Art Show received more entries this year and the standard was very high.
This year the show was open to the general public but with many other events on the same day, we did not get as many people as we would have liked. Those that came, with our members, their families, and friends, enjoyed strawberries and cream and the awards presentation made by Enfield’s mayor Doris Jiagge, who was so impressed that she asked to be involved with the Annual Show as well.
