There are plans to build on the success of the 2019 programme of the members opening their gardens to other members throughout the summer. This provided a very sociable opportunity to get together and chat about garden problems over a cup of tea and cake. For more information on the Open Gardens click here. If you would like to open your garden in 2020 for members and their friends to visit, please contact a member of the committee. Members’ gardens are opened to members and their friends/families only and are not publicised to the public.
Following the success of the clubs participation in the Heritage Exhibition last September in theTrefonen Village Hall, the club will be encouraging members to include and increase sustainable gardening techniques in 2020, for the future benefit of the environment.

Last year the new format of the competition had been a much appreciated addition to the monthly club meetings and we will be continuing this in 2020, from the March to October meetings. There was a wide variety of entries at the meetings. These ranged from colourful displays of springtime plants, to home propagated and grown plants and vegetables. To have a look at the monthly entries in 2019, click here. For more information about the competition, including how to enter, click here.
The speaker for the January meeting was Imogen Jackson, Head Gardener at Horatio’s Garden Gobowen Orthopaedic Hospital (pictured right). It was interesting to hear not only about specific gardening issues, but also how the garden and related areas had been designed to maximise the benefits for people with spinal injuries and their families and friends.
