Victorian Horticultural Shows
As part of our 150th celebrations, we’re running a heritage project inspired by the annual shows of “Dunoon and District Horticultural Society”, and we’re researching the Horticultural Shows of the past, which were held right here in Dunoon Burgh Hall.
“Nurserymen, gardeners and amateurs from Dunoon, Blairmore, Rothesay, Carbeth and Greenock” presented their work in these highly competitive displays each year – as you can see in the picture above, fruit and vegetables, cut flowers and pot plants were beautifully presented under the balcony as well as on our stage.
