Our next Club Meeting on Tuesday 10th June at Emmanuel Parish Centre, Stoughton from 8-10 pm (doors open from 7.45pm) will address a question that most gardeners have faced recently - what are the 'Alternatives to Peat'. The recent and necessary changes to the composition of potting composts has seen a wide variety of different peat-free alternatives, but most people have had very mixed results. Ray Broughton will be guiding us through the options and letting us know how to get the best from the compost we use.
The stately and magnificent Dahlia was the topic for our May meeting. Richard Ramsey from Withypitts Dahlias in West Sussex was our expert guide to these wonderful half-hardy perennials.
The amazing selection of photographs from our members' gardens and our outside spaces from last month can be seen on the May Photographs page.
