Changes to the 2024 schedule.
As most of you will know every year we review the schedule to make sure that we’re capturing
your preferences.
We were advised by one of our floral judges, that floral exhibits should be shown in 5’s rather
than 6’s. So we have made changes where appropriate.
With regard to vegetables, we have followed the lead of the NVS, in that carrot, beetroot,
parsnip and other root vegetables do not need to have their stems tied. The tops of onions and shallots should still be tied, preferably with raffia.

Untangling our Long, Local History – Can You Help?
Cheam & Cuddington Horticultural Society has a long and prestigious history and has always maintained close ties with the local community. We are in the process of putting together as much information as possible about our history. Members old and new, and their families, often find awards, trophies, photos, memories and memorabilia from the Society. We would certainly appreciate it if you or your family could help us.
We have published several articles on our history in our Newsletter over the past years. Special thanks to Richard Bailey and Linda Scanlon who contributed to these articles. We have now gathered them together. You can find them by clicking on the History tab in the menu above.
