NEWS by Christine Bone
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
We held our last garden club meeting in 2019 on Tuesday 26 November 2019. Paula opened the meeting and thanked everyone for coming on such a cold evening. She said that, unfortunately, our guest speaker, Thomas Stone, who was going to give us a talk on 'Winter flowering plants' could not visit us as he was unwell. But at the last minute, Eva Rogers our President very kindly offered to be our speaker and also give us a video talk on winter flowering plants.
Eva brought along a selection of specimen colourful shrubs from her own garden which included winter jasmine, cotoneaster with red berries, berberis also with red berries, viburnum with pink flowers and a very prickly mahonia with yellow flowers, hellebores with lime green flowers and Japanese quince which is frost hardy if grown on a north wall. Paula thanked Eva for giving us such an interesting and wonderful talk on the colourful plants in her lovely garden together with lots of planting tips.
We held our annual club Christmas dinner again this year at the Plough Inn, Alvescot on Friday 6 December 2019. The food was good and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Big thank you to Peter Fullerton for organising our Christmas event!
Paula has also organised and booked another year of interesting speakers who are listed in our new programme for 2019/20. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 28 January 2020 at 8.00pm in Standlake Village Hall. Our guest speaker will be Philip Aubury who will be giving us a talk on 'Successful fruit growing'. Everyone welcome; members and non-members so do come along and support us. We look forward to seeing you all.
We will be having our Annual Spring Show on Tuesday 24 March 2020 so put the date in your diary. Emma Welch our show secretary has already prepared schedules and entry forms which are now available. Copies can be picked up at our meetings or downloaded from the website (link below), so start planning your exhibits now and don't forget to enter your free club 'Jetfire' bulbs which should be in flower in time for displaying at the show.
