Lorn Garden Club Flower Festival at Ardmaddy Castle Garden

Dear all

Lorn Garden Club had booked a fabulous day for their Flower Festival at Ardmaddy Garden. Here are a few visual impressions:

Some of the veggies on offer at our table: carrots, beetroot; French beans, runner beans, broad beans; radishes, green peppers, small green chilly peppers; followed by a colourful nosegay with sweet peas, spearmint, real marigolds, cornflowers and red clover:
Our informative posters attracted quite a lot of attention. We "recycled" them from the Oban Charities' Day in June.
More veg: fir apple potatoes, onions, zucchini with blossoms, kale and sugar-snap peas; the highlight is provided by a few nasturtium blossom.
The weather was simply perfect: warm, sunny, with just the faintest of breezes. This is nearly the end of the day, when the landlord of Ardmaddy Castle, Mr Charles Struthers, called out the winning numbers of the raffle.
