A welcome return to meetings
After a long gap we are very excited to return to physical meetings.
The first of these will be at 8pm on Wednesday 18th May in St Dunstan’s Church Hall.
The speaker will be Chris Day of Buckingham Garden Centre.
And we will be looking at “Re-Inventing the Garden Border”.
Chris looks at the different perspectives on the types of plants we can grow and looks at the possibilities for keeping the interest and colour coming through the whole year.
This talk also covers how gardens have changed over the last few hundred years.
After a long wait, it will be great to see as many back as possible.
