Gardening Trophy
This trophy was part of the presentation ware accumulated by Tranent and District Horticultural Society and was competed for by the membership every year.
This is a small cup, urn or trophy made of silver plate. It is secured to a black plastic plinth by a screw fixture. The cup has two thin handles and an inset, slightly domed lid rising to a pointed finger grip. It is inscribed TRANENT & DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY YOUNG CUP.
Tranent and East Lothian in general are not untypical in having a number of societies active in the community. Their numbers vary with time but usually include common sports and pastimes. Many of the Societies accumulate presentation ware from members or sponsors.
