The Next Meeting:

 

 

The first meeting of our 2026-27 season of talks is on Saturday 21st November at The Weatherley Centre, Eagle Farm Road, Biggleswade, SG18 8JH. David Charlton makes a return visit to us to talk on ‘Mountain Flowers and Gardens from Oregon to Alaska’. This talk, which is based on a lecture tour he did in 2023 for the North American Rock Garden Society, includes four mountain ranges and some superb rock gardens he visited in a wonderful journey across North West America.  

 

So come along to the Elgar Room at the Weatherley Centre to hear this very interesting talk on Saturday 21st November. Doors open from 2.00pm. The talk will start at 2.30 pm.

 

Entry is £3 for members of the Group, and £6 for visitors.
