The
Next Meeting: The next meeting on Monday 1st
October is our Group's Annual General Meeting, starting at 8.00pm. After the
formal business, Liz Livermore will give a short talk on the Group outing to
Beth Chatto's Garden in 2017. Our next speaker meeting and
the first of our new season is on Monday 5th
November when Jon Evans will be giving us a talk on Blackthorn Nursery in the
Spring. This internationally renowned Alpine Plant Nursery in Hampshire closed
a few years ago when the owners, Robin and Sue White, decided to retire. They
have now converted the land into their own private garden. Jon has had the privilege
to visit the garden on many occasions through all the seasons. He took so
many photos on his visits that he couldn't fit them into just one talk, so it
became a series of three!. Part 1 covers January to
May. Meetings are
from 19:30 to 21:30, with the speaker beginning at 20:00. Entry is £2 for
Group members, £3 for visitors and free for children and students; this fee
includes refreshments. There is no monthly competition
at the AGM in October. The competition resumes in November - classes will be
published when the website is updated after the AGM.
