Court Lane Allotments

Court Lane Allotments are certainly raising our profile at the moment. For the 3rd year in a row, we entered Birmingham Gardeners Show at King’s Heath Park. Our category was a mixed display of Flowers, Fruit and Veg.

I am pleased to announce that we were awarded 3rd Prize, for an imaginative display themed on “The Mad Hatter’s Garden Party”. Thank you to all who helped with the planning and setting up the display, and those who were kind enough to donate produce and decorations for the stand. The public loved it and a few people took us at our words with the “Eat Me” labels – more than a few of our cherry tomato “cup cakes” proved just that little bit too tempting.

We also received our prizes for coming 2nd in the Best Run Society Competition (Frank Carter Memorial Trophy) and 4th in the Best Site Competition (Thorpe Memorial Trophy) for the whole of Birmingham.

More photos will be available on our Flickr site shortly. In the meantime, here is a photo of our prize-winning display, to whet your appetite (click on pic for a larger version).
