So, Road Trips Gardeners, you thought there was only Worcestershire Sauce in Worcester, England! Not true. The fifth annual Worcester City Flower Show will be held in conjunction with the grand opening of Gheluvelt Park from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. August 14, 2010.

Actually, it’s more than flowers, since the organizers are calling for displays of fruits and vegetables as well as flowers, but what the heck. If you’re driving nearby, stop in. There’s lots going on all day, and admission is free. Both the mayor of Worcester and the mayor of Gheluvelt, Belgium, will be on hand.

The grand opening event commemorates the action of the Worcestershire Regiment at the Battle of Gheluvelt near Ypres, Belgium in 1914 where a few hundred men halted a major German advance and altered the course of World War I.
