Flowers, fruits and vegetables were all in bloom at Saffron Walden Horticultural Society's Summer Rose and Floral Show.
The show took place on Saturday, June 22 at Sewards End Village Hall, with exhibitors showing more than 90 exhibits despite the wet spring and cold weather at the start of June.
Prize winners were presented with their awards from the Mayor of Saffron Walden Cllr Deryk Eke.
Sharon Davey won the Veerman Rose Bowl for the most points in rose classes, as well as the trophy for the best rose exhibit for her 'American Pillar' variety.
Along with David Livermore, Sharon was also joint winner of the RA Butler Cup for the most points in the 'other flower' section.
David was named joint winner of the Denning Bowl for the most points in the fruit and vegetable section, this time sharing his award with Peter Cranfield.
The Russell Green Cup for the best exhibit in the fruit and vegetable section went to Vera Willson for her dish of strawberries.
Vera also triumphed in the domestic classes - winning both the Walden Trophy for most points and the Rickett Shield for best exhibit, which was a jar of strawberry jam made with her own fruit.
In the children's classes, Chloe Hollidge won the Scrivener Cup for the most points, while Ariella Quantrill won the Caroline Dowling award for her flowers in a decorated jam jar.
Liz Livermore, from Saffron Walden Horticultural Society, said: "The judge commented very favourably on the quality of the exhibits on display.
"Thank you to everyone who took part, whether by exhibiting, helping on the day, or just coming along to enjoy the show.
"Congratulations to all the prize winners."

The society was first established in 1819, and the president was the Right Honourable Lord Braybrooke.
A summer fete was held intermittently during the 19th century, with large annual shows from 1883.
The society disbanded in 1901 due to financial difficulties, but was revived in 1922.
