(Above) Three of the 'Allotment Holders Trophy' entries. There are 110 classes, but this
is one of the most difficult ones because you have to produce 5 different
vegetables or flowers all at high standard.

(Above) Left to right, one 'Allotment Holders Trophy' and three 'Hornsey Master
Gardener' entries. The Hornsey Master Gardener is probably the most difficult
class of all to win because you have to produce winning examples of particular
types of vegetables and flowers.

(Above) Children's entries. The photo shows entries for the classes: 'Floating flowers'
and 'A miniature garden'.

(Above) A rare photo of Gary Sycamore winning a prize, and being congratulated by Mayor
Sheik Thompson. Actually, a little jest - Gary is a regular
winner not only at Hornsey but other local shows too. At Hornsey, Gary
frequently wins our most
difficult class, the Hornsey Master Gardener. Gary also deserves a special
mention because he is a staunch supporter and continual fund-raiser by selling
home-grown produce for the
Harington Scheme in Highgate which provides horticultural training for
people with learning difficulties/disabilities. (Low resolution photo).
