I decided to go to the meeting, as the children in my school, I knew, used to play quite a large part in this village excitement and there were a number of special competitions, such as collecting wild flowers, making dolls’ house decorations(装饰) or little gardens and so on, included in the program. Also, with the example of Mr. Annett’s gardening efforts at Beech Green in mind, I had been considering for some time a school garden of our own, and this village show should give our efforts additional encouragement.

    Notices have been put up here and there in the village for the last fortnight (两星期) announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly Flower Show, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I became the village school teacher here, the Flower Show appears to have been an event of some importance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre. It was normally held in a field at the side of the church.
