Flower Show success in Peebles

And the event, at the community centre, was a huge success.

Anne Dodds from the group said: "It was a very warm sunny day and well supported by visitors and locals alike.

"It was amazing to see so much wonderful garden produce, from flowers to fruit and vegetables.

"The handicraft and baking tables were well supplied showing a great range of talent we have in the area. The children's entries were wonderful and the floral art arrangements were stunning.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting the Flower Show in the many different ways it takes to make the show happen."
