Village Gardeners
THE VILLAGE GARDENERS had their A.G.M. in October. We had a review of the past
year and a lively discussion on our finances "not bad-but could do
better" - to quote our treasurer and proposed outings and speakers for
next year. We shall be having a trip to Beth Chatto's garden in Essex and
are very much hoping to have "Open Gardens" again in June. If there
is anyone who would like to open their garden, then please let me know.
Our evening ended with nice wine and sharing the books, that we'd especially enjoyed and which had inspired, informed and encouraged us in our labours; there was a veritable pile of them, which possibly was because one member, unable to choose a favourite, had brought the entire horticultural section of her library!
A full programme for 2008 will be published in the January Crier, but can already say that we are getting off to a good start in the New Year, with Dr Twiggs Way talking on "An Incentive to Early Marriage - the Social History of the Allotment". Not to be missed.
New members are always welcome.
