Annual Shows

We hold two flower shows every year at the Community Centre, Sheepsetting Lane, Heathfield. TN21 0XG.

Both members and non-members can enter and from time-to-time there will be children’s classes.

Entries are staged and judged in the morning and the shows open for viewing by the general public at 2p.m.; a chance to meet up with other gardeners, enjoy tea and cake purchased from our pop-up café and buy raffle tickets.

Show schedules and class entry form will be available on our website, at our evening meetings, local nurseries and retail outlets a few weeks before each show.
