The event – at Haworth Village Hall – featured over 400 exhibits submitted by 75 different entrants, including a number of people who were exhibiting at the show for the first time.
Several new classes were amongst the 111 on offer.
This year’s show was the 105th.
A committee spokesperson says: “It was lovely to see the hall once again filled with fantastic exhibits, including vegetables, flowers, handicrafts, produce and classes for children.
“After all the hard work of organising, it is good to see everything come together on the day.
“Prize money was paid from sponsorship, provided by many local businesses and individuals. We are extremely grateful to everyone who supported us, either by sponsoring classes or providing a raffle prize.”
An auction of exhibits following the show raised £533 for Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice Manorlands.
It added to nearly £150 that had been coined in through a promotional cake and plant stall in Main Street, Haworth.
Also, any unclaimed prize money went to the hospice.
And Oakworth Manorlands fundraising group provided refreshments throughout the afternoon, which raised a further £250-plus.
Trophies were presented by Keighley MP Robbie Moore.
He says: “It was a huge privilege to award the prizes at the 105th Haworth & District Gardeners’ Show
“I am always blown away by the talent in our communities, and the show displays were no exception.
“A huge congratulations goes to all the winners and everyone who took part. Over 400 entries is a fantastic achievement.
“It was great to see such a vibrant array of opportunities for people to get involved.
“I would like to express a huge thanks to all the members, exhibitors and sponsors for contributing to such a successful event.”
