The first beautiful rose of summer
This informal gardening club meets monthly to compare notes on our gardening experiences (good and bad), socialise with each other, and swap and sell plants, seeds, cuttings, magazines and books. The group aims to promote wildlife gardening and encourage pollinating insects and bees wherever possible.
In summer, we visit some of the lovely gardens belonging to our members and have our usual teatime get-togethers. We have had to reduce our outings to local open gardens because there are very few gardens within easy reach that we’ve not already visited, a number of gardens are not opening any more, and our numbers often do not achieve the minimum necessary for a private booking.
The BGs usually meet on the first Wednesday of every month. New members are welcome; please contact Kathy Pearce for information about our programme.
