A BUMPER display of home-grown vegetables, fruit, flowers, baking and crafts attracted plenty of visitors to Milnthorpe & District Allotment Association's annual celebration.
Warm, sunny weather greeted the village's 76th horticultural and craft show at St Thomas' Church, Milnthorpe, where visitors enjoyed teas and home-baked cakes through the afternoon.
Cllr Roger Bingham, a long-time exhibitor, presented the awards, with the trophy for best horticultural exhibit won by Jack Gott for his dahlia arrangement. The green-fingered Mr Gott also picked up five more awards for dahlias, and his allotment was judged the best-kept.
