Sandy Leven provides these reports for our reading pleasure.
Thank you, Sandy, for your lively memories of the Shows and the Forrest Medal plants.

(other Members' reports and photos from the shows can be found HERE in the SRGC Forum)
Because of the cancellation of our Shows, due to the Coronavirus crisis, there will be few show reports this season. Sandy Leven, mindful of the fact that we would not have the pleasure of more show reports this year while the virus pandemic keeps us at home, has really pulled out all the stops to give us a full range of the plants at Kendal.... he hopes he'll be back at Shows next year with his camera on our behalf - we hope so too! Thank you, Sandy!
