BLOOMS of all varieties filled a Purton hall in a horticultural show in aid of the Royal British Legion.

Maureen, 64, and Arthur Griffin, 69, were delighted with their winnings.

The couple, of High Ridge, Purton, were awarded two cups one for achieving the most points in a class and the other was for the flower class.

Both their fuchsias and chrysanthemums gained first prizes.

Maureen said: "We have been gardening all our lives but we have only been competing in shows for two or three years.

"It feels really good to have done well at the show. It was a lovely day.

"But it can be quite stressful preparing for something like that, you have to make sure the plants and flowers are prepared."
