NEWS by Christine Bone
Our first garden club meeting of this year was held on Tuesday 22nd January.
Our guest speaker Roger Turner visited us from Gloucestershire and gave us an interesting talk and slide show about his experiences in creating a small garden for the Chelsea Flower Show. He entered and designed a small garden for Chelsea Flower show in the year 2000 on behalf of his client, the Daily Telegraph. He showed us many slides of his experience at Chelsea and his story about creating his garden. He said that it took approximately 2 months to construct using plants which he bought from specialist nurseries in the UK and abroad. The plants are kept in their pots and stored in poly tunnels during construction of the garden.
Judy thanked Roger for bringing his slides along and that we all enjoyed listening to his journey and experiences in designing his garden.
