EARBY and District Gardeners held its 74th Horticultural Show in the New Road Community Centre on Saturday.
David Hartley, one of the show organisers, said: "This was successful though an early season meant some exhibits had “gone over” before the date of the show. Nevertheless there were a reasonable number of high quality exhibits and everyone enjoyed the social interaction over soup and sandwiches."
