We welcomed Allison Oldershaw who came to talk to us to demonstrate Willow Weaving.
It was a lovely evening, with lots of practical advice about willow and how to work with it. Alison demonstrated a willow ring and a plant support, but also brought along some examples of other beautiful things she has made for her garden. Alison has kindly sent us some useful fact sheets with lots of information about where to source willow rods and how to get started. These can be viewed on our 'Practical Garden Tips' page, click the link below. Alison runs workshops from her home in Gloucestershire.

The Annual General Meeting
The meeting in September was the AGM. This was well attended, thank you to all those who came. The minutes of the meeting will soon be published here on our Governance Page. The meeting was followed by a fabulous talk by Adam Alexander. Adam spoke to us about "Practical Aspects of seed saving". This was an incredibly useful and interesting talk, Adam gave tips on saving seeds from all kinds of fruit and vegetable crops including tomatoes, peppers, parsnips and beans. Adam's book 'The Seed Detective' was Radio 4's The Food Programme book of the year.
Annual Produce Show
The show was on Sunday 3rd September. It was a wonderful display of fruit and vegetable produce, cookery, flower arranging and photography. Thank you to all who entered and everyone who came and supported on the day. It is a fabulous village tradition that the Garden club is proud to keep going. Every year our judges are surprised and impressed by the quality of exhibits, the variety of the show, but also of the fact that new people and novice growers are always keen to take part. Congratulations to all our trophy winners this year. A particular mention to Sam Garett, the 2023 winner of the Cyril Collins Cup for the most points at the show. A full list of our all our 2023 trophy winners can be found on the winners page, link below:

Summer Visit to Waterperry Gardens: Wednesday 19th July
Thankyou Mary Anne and Paula for arranging a wonderful visit to Waterperry Gardens. We met at the gardens for coffee on a sunny morning and had a fabulous tour through the herbaceous borders, orchards and into the wild flower meadow. The gardens were delightful with every corner filled with beautiful plants. The tour finished in the alpine garden - incredible sand filled raised beds filled with sedums, succulents, alpines and miniature conifers... very inspiring! We have come away with lots of ideas for our own gardens.
