The Greenslet Cup-- an IGC Tradition

Marion Swan writes in her History of the Ipswich Garden Club: 

"At the 1933 March meeting Mrs. Greenslet donated an 'old French cup to be used

 in the nosegay competition throughout the summer.'  The cup was to be 'held in turn

 by the various members' but exactly how the competitions would be held is unclear. 

Of course the Greenslet Cup continues to be part of our club tradition to this day.”

This year’s theme is “A-Tisket, a-Tasket, a bouquet in a basket.” 

Bring your happy entry to our Annual Meeting on Saturday, April 6th at 2pm.
