IT was a right Royal occasion at this year’s Twyford and Ruscombe Horticultural Association’s Spring Show.
A new category in the popular event invited local youngsters to draw a portrait of King Charles.
Other competitions included art, photography, handicrafts and even tea pot flower displays.
More than a hundred people enjoyed the show which was held at Loddon Hall with organisers describing it as one of the busiest ever.
Secretary Diane Thirtle said: “A sign of how busy it was is we almost ran out of cake and even chairs as people were content to stay and soak in the atmosphere which was wonderful.
“This year we decided to open the competition to non-members which proved a great success. Our summer show takes place in June and we hope that will be just as busy.”
Diane said the organising committee was delighted to see so many young people at the event and entering the various categories.
“We do a lot of work with all the local schools. Our hope is a few younger people will volunteer to help with the Association especially when it comes to organising our shows.
“It is hard work but the rewards are wonderful as more and more people are growing things in their own gardens.”
