Established in 1960, the National Vegetable Society promotes the cultivation and exhibition of high-quality vegetables. Annually, the society organises vegetable exhibitions across five regions. The Scottish Branch Championships offers growers from throughout Scotland the opportunity to showcase their finest homegrown vegetables, compete for prestigious awards, and establish connections with fellow growers.
Taking place from 13-14 September at the Dobbies store in Dunfermline, vegetable growers and enthusiasts from across Scotland will showcase the best produce the country has to offer. Judging and staging will see a range of vegetable classes, including leeks, beetroot, parsnips, tomatoes, potatoes, onions and more.
Deirdre Rutherford, General Manager of Dobbies Dunfermline, said: “It’s a privilege for us to host this year’s National Vegetable Society Scottish Branch Championships at the Dunfermline store. The weekend will be an excellent opportunity to celebrate the achievements of this year’s prize-winning vegetables and the fantastic gardeners that have worked so hard to grow the best quality produce. We’re looking forward to welcoming anyone interested in growing vegetables, whether you’re an expert, or completely new to gardening, there will be something for everyone to enjoy and learn.”
