I usually enter our local shows in the craft section, but I was thinking of having ago in other sections.
The problem is I have no idea how to stage them, I have read a few articles without much luck.
Black currants with stalks at least half pound - do these have to be attached to main stalk or does it just mean the little bit of stalk.
Raspberries- not sure how to stage these
4 bunches of herbs distinct, not sure how to stage these either
Thanks

Black currents individually with short stalk. Look nice on a white plate with a few current leaves under them round the edges. Handle them with care. Raspberries similar. Some shows supply plates.
Herbs often in a small jar.
Read the show schedule very carefully for guidance. If unsure ask the show secretary. That is their job.
Go to other shows and take note of what wins.
