The popular Kirton in Lindsey Amateur Gardeners (KLAGs) Daffodil Delight show returns for its 12th year on Saturday 5th April, from 9.30am to 12.30pm at the Town Hall, Market Place, Kirton in Lindsey.
With daffodils in full bloom across gardens and flowering in various forms until May, why not take some along and enter them into one of the competition classes? There is a trophy for the best exhibit in the show, or participants can simply enter for the pleasure of showcasing their blooms.
