Killearn Cottagers' Horticultural Society



FROM THE COMMITTEE
We’d like to thank everyone who came along to the ‘HOE! not the Show’.
Thanks to those who kindly donated their time and exhibits to create the section displays in the marquee and thanks to all the stall-holders too for adding to the buzz on the day.
And thanks too, to the The Almost Credible String Band who provided some great background music!
All of the entries in the Scarecrow Competition met the challenge superbly, but it was the “Glamorous Granny Gardener” scarecrow which eventually received the winner’s rosette.
It was a great opportunity to meet up with people we haven’t seen for months and to see so many people viewing the stalls and displays.

The Horti Committee wanted to not only commemorate the 155th Annual Show and meet Covid-19 guidance, but give an opportunity to share horticultural- related information whilst socialising safely.
So here are the fully-bloomed details of the “HOE! not the Show”.

🌿 The “HOE! not the Show” starts at 1pm and runs until 4pm.
🎪 Centred around an open-sided marquee in the car park with displays based on the most popular themes of the Annual Show:

Throughout the planning we’ve been making sure we meet the latest Covid-19 guidance from the Scottish Government so we can socialise safely on the 28th.
We encourage everyone to come along to the “HOE! not the Show” to see the stalls, displays, photos and scarecrows.
