The show will be held on Kirkham's Peoples and Memorial Park on the 28th and 29th June 2025. Charities, Schools and members of the community will be invited to take part to showcase their talents and stimulate personal growth. This is a revival of a once popular event for the villages and the people are keen to see its return. Horticulture shows stimulate interest in growing and showing horticulture, creating floral designs, and expressing creativity, they also stimulate local economy in villages. The run up to the show will allow the creation of new groups and invigorate existing groups
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Encouraging Younger Generations Most local shows have categories for children to enter, be they amusing vegetable constructions or themed bookmark design and colouring competitions. It’s important to get children involved in community events, to present them with the full range of nature’s bounty and to have them engage with older local people so that they learn to respect them. Competition is also an important life lesson, I like my children to see me working hard in the garden or at the allotment, preparing exhibits and NOT always winning at a show. It teaches them tolerance, patience, humility and that perseverance and hard work bring reward… life is not full of instant gratification Community Building The majority of visitors to our local shows are elderly, this is to be expected because gardening is something of a popular hobby among the retired of society.community benefits from local event like this and their upkeep is vital for community cohesiveness – reduced vandalism
Steps to get it done:
So many elderly people go days or weeks without a visitor or decent conversation with anybody but the postman or cold caller. A local show provides these people with an opportunity for exercise, floral eye candy, conversation and above all company.
