Elaine Brown and Elizabeth White, who ran the plant stall, said: “Thank you, everybody who donated plants - it was very kind of you all and your efforts are really appreciated.”
For those with horticultural interests, the entries inside the church were excellent this year – some eye-catching flower arrangements, impressive craft work and some beautiful photo - graphs – the garden pest catego - ry featured a lot of slow-moving pests such as slugs and snails, one observer remarked!
The winners in each of the main categories were as follows.
Vegetables (The Whitbourne Garden Society Challenge Cup) - Heather Colley. Flowers (Sam Elliot Cup) - Lorraine Silk. Flower Arranging (Silver Jubilee Cup) - Lynne Gwynne. Photography (Juro Trophy) - Penny Hayward. Art (Pimpernel Trophy) - Andrew Kneen. Cookery (Clarissa Jones Challenge Cup) - Wendy Cummins. Hughes Bros Trophy - Yvonne Evans.
Organised jointly by the Whitbourne Garden Society and Whitbourne Church Council, the fete not only depends on the goodwill of stallholders and cus - tomers but more crucially on that of Mr and Mrs Gordon Cupper, whose land is used for parking and - this year - the mad - ness that was Custard’s Last Stand by the Green Arrows. of Greater Whitbourne Page 7 stand Custard and his fellow Yankees swerved and swooped on their mowing machines, fighting off the Indians.
