Events: This
Branch does not hold an annual show as such but it does mount a large display
in the main floral marquee at the Taunton Flower Show each year; this is usually
held during the first week of August. In recent years we have been fortunate
enough to receive a Gold Award. There is an opportunity for members to sell
surplus plants at this event. Click
here for photographs of recent
shows. Occasional
visits to members collections and to nurseries are also arranged. Click here for recent visits. National Show
2008: For
