FOAKES Hall was filled with floral fragrances as Dunmow Horticultural Society held its Spring show on Saturday.
David Beedle, chairman of Dunmow Horticultural Society, said: "Our show was rather late this year, which meant there was a drastic shortfall on the daffodil entries in the main classes but that didn't stop the hall from looking splendid.
