Hello Everyone,
Coming up this weekend is our final meeting of 2014, which features a talk by alpine plant expert, Jim Almond: “Something for Everyone”
Jim is a keen grower/exhibitor of alpine plants, a hobby which has given him much pleasure for the past 20 years. Specialising in Primulaceae, he has a large rare bulb collection, and is also a member of the Alpine Garden Society judging panel. This talk should appeal to any audience of discriminating ‘plants-people’.
Autumn bulbs, berries and colour; summer herbaceous plants; the odd tree; fabulous foliage and the occasional shrub. Specific genera include Cyclamen, Anemonella, Hepatica, Rhododendron and Daphne – yes, something for everyone. He comes very highly recommended by other HPS groups.

Jim’s talk will be followed by our Christmas Party!
Our usual yuletide celebration, with festive cheer provided by the Committee’s bucks fizz!! Please bring a plate of nibbles to share, savoury or sweet, on a paper plate to avoid washing-up. Gluten-free contributions particularly welcome.
NB: No cutlery is available so finger-food which does not require heating, please. Please bring in on disposable plates. If you need to bring your food in a tin/plastic container, please unpack the food on arrival and return the container to your car. Table decorations will be very welcome.
