Culter Horticultural Society

IT NOW seems many months ago that we held our Annual Flower Show at the end of what had been a very poor summer. The weather badly affected the number of entries, especially the cut flowers that had sustained much damage in the heavy rain. However, we were very pleased to welcome Mrs Lavina Massie, Chair of Culter Community Council, to open the Show and there were still many exhibits to admire. We would like to thank everyone who supported the Show. Hope to see you again next year, and if you want advance information or an early copy of the 2005 schedule, please give me a call.
