Swindon Allotments and Leisure Gardens Association will hold an autumn show on Saturday, 3 September.

The venue will be Pinetrees Community Centre Swindon SN2 1QR, and the event will start at 2.30pm.

A second Show, on Saturday, 17 September, is planned by Wroughton and District Gardners’ Society at the Ellendune Community Centre, Wroughton, SN4 9LW from 2pm. 

A spokesperson for the two groups said: "Both of these shows feature giant vegetable competitions, free fun children’s activities and lovely home-made cakes and refreshments. Locally grown plants and produce can had at bargain prices and there are always lots of keen and experienced gardeners on hand to offer advice and support. 

"The shows are also a chance to join your local gardening society. These are always particularly friendly clubs, for great company, ongoing advice and monthly talks and garden themed outings and even holidays. 

Autumn shows are a great way to get garden inspiration for what grows well locally with a chance at free expert advice. They are also great fun, with children’s activities, giant vegetables on show and hundreds of wonderful vegetable, flowers, home baking and arts, crafts and photography exhibits.
