Southport
Flower Show 2005
UNLIKE past years
the weather at the Southport Flower Show was bright and sunny, and
not a drop of rain in sight. As always it was a huge success, not
only for the locals but also the tourist and vendors alike, there
was also a lot of TV coverage, the biggest ever to be present at the
yearly event. Last year the show was reorganised for 2005, into what
is believed to be the best show yet. This is the second consecutive
4 day show with Sunday proving to be a very popular addition to the
75th show. Families visiting this year benefited from the new
children’s area with a variety of activities to keep them occupied
while Mum and Dad wondered around at their leisure.
With the most popular displays being the school and student garden
design competitions, these being the most innovative features at the
showground with Roddy Llewellyn being patron. No matter which way
your head turns you will be hit with a vision of beauty, or a gasp
of surprise. From demonstrations of master craftsmen, thatching a
roof with skill and ease. To showing of their skills at using old
traditional methods to make everything from, cane seats, baskets and
pottery. To the Sculptured area with sculptures of strange and
wonderful things to traditional products, which are handcrafted and
are imported from South Africa and Zimbabwe. These exhibits
showcased a variety of talents from street artists to some top
gallery exhibits. The best way of describing the show is to show
you, so we have got lots of pictures on here. We will also have some
video footage on Liverpool Reporter very soon and we will be adding
more pictures soon.
All in all this years flower show was an event not to be missed or
forgotten, but to remember. This event was so great that it would
make anyone think, roll on next year. The Southport Flower Show is a
world of inspiration to any garden. Below are the winners to the
