BLACKPOOL SHOW

Every year, in conjunction with the Scottish Rock Garden Club., the North Lancashire Group of the Alpine Garden Society hold the Blackpool Show.

It is part of a series of shows that are held around the country. If you have not been to a show before, then you will not have seen the rows of alpine plants, in pots, making the benches groan under their weight and filling the hall with colour.
