by Alan QuickEACH week, throughout the year, thousands of volunteers arrange flowers to beautify their churches, and celebrate weddings!

Devon County Agricultural Association, organisers of the annual three-day Devon County Show, would like to champion the work of all these flower arrangers and have a fun display of pedestal arrangements in the entrance to the Craft and Garden Marquee at the 2018 County Show.

There are very few rules…other than a display on a pedestal, approximate maximum height of display, not including the pedestal, about 100cm and approximate maximum width of display, also about 100cm.

Deborah Custance Baker, on behalf of the Show, explained: "There will be no official judging, however, tokens will be available from the stewards table and the public can vote for their favourite display with a token.

"The display with the most number of tokens at the end of the three days will be declared the winner. Prize cards will be issued."

Deborah added: "There is no entry fee, but we will need to know that you will be entering an arrangement.

"You will need to provide your own pedestal, flowers, foliage and oasis and displays will need to be in place by 8pm on Wednesday, May 16.

Stewards will water the arrangements during the Show.

Those who wish to take part should contact Lisa Moore, Features Co-Ordinator, Devon County Show, Westpoint, Clyst St Mary, Exeter EX5 1DJ and include, name, address and church being represented.

Admission tickets will be sent to each church representative.
