This year's garden and flower show at Balls Plantation, Christ Church, was another big success.
Jennifer Weetch, president of the Barbados Horticultural Society, said yesterday members had decided to start the show earlier at 10 a.m. instead of 2 p.m, and they were reaping the benefits.
"We just thought people might want to participate earlier so we tried it and it worked. It was time for a change," she said.
In attendance was Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Haynesley Benn, a former judge of the fruit and vegetable section and a regular visitor to the show in years past.
Benn said: "So far I'm impressed and fascinated by the variety but they need to pay more attention to fruits and vegetables and get more people involved for next year."
Also on display were art and craft and presentations on pest management. The flower show continues today at Balls Plantation. (CA)
