Summer Show 2014  -  August 30th 2014
With the sun shining, the big event of the year, the Summer show, brings competitors, those simply displaying, and us the viewing public. We’ll let the photos tell the story, but to celebrate the season we’ve added some colour from around the allotments and a quote or two to go with them. Enjoy the memory. Summer may soon be gone!  

 

“What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.” 

John Lubbock  

“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;

they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul”.

Luther Burbank

 

 

“Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful”

Jim Carrey

“I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.” 
― Herbert Rappaport

 

“A flower blossoms for its own joy.” 
― Oscar Wilde

 

“Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.” 
― Heinrich Heine

 

“In joy or sadness flowers are our constant friends.” 

Kakuzi Okakura

 

“The earth laughs in flowers.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

- perhaps some other ways as well - thank you!
