What an enjoyable evening we had at our April meeting, lots of new members, and promises of plants for the Sale.
Annie's Plant of the Month was Kerria Japonica, but she had both the double (pleniflora) and the single varieties("Golden Guinea"). Unusually, it is the single that is rare! But what a beautiful splash of colour at this time of year.
The talk was "Creating a Cottage Garden", and Susanne spoke from experience, as she has done her own beautiful garden, which we visited last year. She showed us pictures of gardens that had influenced her, and her favourite plants, before answering lots of questions from the large audience.
The May talk is very different - "Bumblebees - Their Life and Conservation", and will discuss their decline in numbers and what the gardener can do to assist the preservation of these iconic insects. Starting at 7.30pm, on Monday 13th, with entry at £2.50 for members and £5 for non-members. Everyone is welcome - please bring friends and neighbours.
This is the day after our Plant Sale, on Sunday 12th, with donations accepted at the marquee on the Green from noon, and the sale opening at 2pm until 4pm. Refreshments will be in the Church, in aid of All Saints.
