NEWS by Christine Bone
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
Our first garden club meeting of the year on Tuesday 28 January was well attended. Paula welcomed everyone to the meeting and announced some dates for our diaries about this year’s club outings:
Firstly, our summer outing this year will be to visit Bowood House for a guided tour on Wednesday 15 July travelling by coach. More details will be available at our next club meeting.
An evening outing has been arranged to visit Bunkers Hill Nursery near Bladon on Friday 12 June - they have offered to give us a talk with free coffee or tea; time to be confirmed later.
Our annual plant sale will be on Saturday 23 May. Please think about sowing and preparing plants that may be suitable for donation. Emma has completed all show schedules for this year which can be downloaded and copied from our website. She also brought along to the meeting show schedules for the Spring, Summer and Autumn shows which were available and can also be picked up at our next club meetings in February and March.
Paula welcomed Philip Aubrey, our guest speaker from Birmingham Botanical Gardens. He gave us an extremely interesting talk on 'Successful fruit growing.' He also brought along some specimen plants and shrubs from his own garden and gave us a demonstration on how to prune shrubs and fruit trees.
Our March garden club meeting, on Tuesday 24 March 2020 in Standlake Village Hall, will also be our Annual Spring Show; staging will be from 5.40pm until 6.30pm and judging starts at 6.30pm. The show starts at 7.30pm. The schedules and entry forms are now available from Emma Welch, our show secretary on 01865 300204. Don't forget to enter your free 'Jet fire' club bulbs in the show and any other Spring flowers you wish to exhibit.
