Time Immemorial

In recognition of the standing which the Ancient Society of York Florists is held throughout the horticultural world, arrangements are in hand for a plaque to be erected above the entrance to the electrical and gardening sections of BARNITTS' STORE in Colliergate, York.

This doorway was originally the entrance to the sign of the sandhill (licenced premises) where the very first meeting of the reformed society was held, followed by its first public show.

Why the Society is the only survivor of all those who were instrumental in forming the horticultural world of today is unanswerable. The plaque will however ensure that no matter what changes take place, the name of The Ancient Society of York Florists will live on in TIME IMMEMORIAL.
