The first meeting of the Autumn kicked off with a fascinating talk by Troy Scott-Smith from Bodnant Garden in Wales. He took us through the various restoration projects at Bodnant, which have cost millions to carry out, including moving 3,000 tonnes of silt from one of the lakes. The works will ensure the future of the gardens for the next hundred years or so. He also brought some plants to sell which proved popular. Photos of the meeting are shown below.
The next members meeting is on 3rd Nov and is the AGM and Members Afternoon. Guests are always welcome on the door. The AGM includes:
- A quiz organised by Anne Godfrey
- A short presentation on this new website by Bill Hodgson
