The punters poured in to Salthouse Fields, Clevedon, on Saturday for the 13th Clevedon Flower Show.

Young and old enjoyed a plethora of award-winning blooms which showed West Country folk to be as green-fingered as the best.

There was also an array of mouth-watering vegetables on display, for those who like to eat the products of their labours rather than just admire them.

Mike Law, chairman of Clevedon and District Horticultural Society, said: "Despite the current recession, we endeavoured to improve our entertainment programme to get good quality acts to suit all tastes. This year again we obtained permission from North Somerset Council and the Avon and Somerset Police for the City of Bristol Pipes and Drums to march from the town centre to the showground on Saturday and also tribute acts which have proved popular in the past.

"We thank the exhibitors for their high standards, craft for their practical skills and trade for their continued support, but most of all you the visitor."
