Village Gardeners
Programme for 2008
THE PROGRAMME may have a familiar shape but we have enlisted some excellent
speakers on topics which we hope you will find both interesting and appealing.
To the summer events we have added a Village Gardens Open Day in June. We would
love to hear from anyone who would like add their garden to those already
committed. Contact Margaret Joyce or Roger Connan.
Visitors are always welcome to all events.
