Whithorn’s Annual Flower show was held on the 21st & 22nd August with an amazing display of flowers and vegetables.
Despite the weather, the vegetable collections were outstanding and the blooms of roses and sweet peas excellent.
Entries were well up on year with all classes being well supported, and a very high standard in all fields.
The Show was opened on Friday evening by Ross Muir, Woodfall Gardens, Glasserton.
A very successful show over the two days with local and visitors showing their support.
