Spring Show 2026

Saturday 21 March 2026

We introduced some brand new daffodil classes which have been broken into two to give more opportunities for winning a prize :

- If you haven't won three or more 1st prizes for Daffodils in the preceding two VDHS Spring Shows, and have not exhibited daffodils in any other Spring Horticultural Show, then you are eligible to enter classes in Section A.

- if you have won three or more 1st prizes for daffodils in the preceding two VDHS Spring Shows, or you have exhibited daffodils in other Spring Horticultural Shows, then you should look to enter Section B classes.

We have also introduced two special new competitions - the "Daffodil Challenge" in Section A, and the "Daffodil Championship" in Section B, both of which give you the chance of winning £25 prizes!!
