will be hoping to join the race this year.

The Flower Show also inspired many locals to take their gardening more seriously so as to come out tops in the competition that also romped in two experts in orchids from the Trinidad Orchid Society who had a few seminars on orchids during their stay on the Island. The Society has taken part in International Flower Shows worldwide.

Information on how to register will be available soon. For updates you can visit our Facebook page, Montserrat National Trust.
