Hi Anne
Shows will have entry forms and criteria to meet so you might have joy using google.  I just found this one for instance - it's quite particular about the size of those runner beans!

Hope it helps,

Subject: [SHCG-LIST] crafted horticultural show

Dear All,

Okay, this is a bit of a strange one but here goes. We are holding a crafted horticultural show where all the entries have to be knitted, crocheted or crafted as vegetables, flowers and cakes. I am trying to find out what categories there would traditionally be in a horticultural show, so that we can base our categories in a similar way, e.g. three beans on a plate, short stemmed flowers etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks
Anne
