As the Kent County Agricultural Society celebrated its 100th Anniversary, our floral art show celebrated some of the important milestones of the last 100 years with "100 Years - From Then to Now". It was a fabulous show enjoyed by competitors and the public. Our thanks go the team who worked so hard to create the show, the helpers and the competitors. The results are below.
