The show was held on Friday and Saturday at the Gore Town & Country Club.
The gladioli grown by Douglas Dixey, of Gore, also won the best gladioli at the show.
Mr Dixey said it had been a good growing season for gladioli.
"Except for that wind the other day, it was quite stormy but mine seemed to survive."
He entered about 40 gladioli in the show.
Gladioli were from South Africa and were often called "sword flowers".
A quality bloom should have two thirds of the flowers open and the other third in bud, he said.
In his garden he had more than 200 gladioli.
"I like them and they do as they’re told most of the time."
He sometimes ran a line of string on the edge of the garden to stop them flopping on to the path.
If he planted the corms in November, by February and March they were flowering.
He fed the plants with liquid seaweed when the first flower started to open.
Committee member Lyn Hankey said entries in some flower categories including roses were down because of the weather.
"It’s been a funny season I reckon."
Vegetable section convener Bevin Roy said there was a good array of vegetables.
"Overall, the broccolis and the cauliflowers had good big heads, good sized carrots, but overall pretty good."
Corn had been late developing this year because of the weather, he said.
Garden club member Anne Hunt won the Burrows Cup for the champion of the fruit and vegetable section.
"Those prizewinning plums are the size of apples," Mr Roy said.
