After months of preparation and days of setting up by the exhibitors the Chorley Flower Show opened to sunny skies at 10am this morning and continues until Sunday (28th July). This year numerous groups have produced Community Gardens including the Friends. Designed and led by our Committee member Jan Sanderson and assisted by Friends volunteers Connie and David Joyce, Steve Hodgson, Lynda Sutch and Sue Jackson, the team have produced a highly distinctive and colourful model garden replicating the key features of Astley Park.
You can find the Garden across the lake bridge from the Hall alongside the temporary path to the Grand Floral Marquee.
Also nearby is our stall.
If you are at the Show, here you will find creative activities for kids, and in exchange for donations, a wide range of plants, attractive flower pots and specially made drainage pot stands, unique greeting cards and the opportunity to win an original painting – all given or produced by our members. Please also take the opportunity to check out all that we do and find out about all the benefits you could enjoy by being a member.
