Hutt Valley Horticultural Society is one of the oldest in N Z and still manages 4 shows per year , all usually well supported from the locals of this large urban area .With few local exhibitors , they always manage to fill the hall with an interesting mix of displays from local horticultural and craft groups .Their large hall and adjourning complex is under threat of demolition as it has not met the recently raised earthquake strength standards but has been host to many North Island National Shows and was a popular venue .Margaret Seconi was the dominant exhibitor and did a splendid job flying the daffodil flag .Thanks for the photos Margaret ; apologies for not managing to get all off the disc you provided . The Champion Bloom , Reserve Champ and all open premiers were exhibited by Margaret , a great effort . Judge was Diane Irwin .
