Our October Club meeting on Tuesday 13th October at Emmanuel Parish Centre will be a chance to combine a bit of science with the majesty and spectacle of autumn with a talk on 'Autumnal Colours and Biochemistry' by Jonathan Newell, the Public Engagement Officer, from the Hilltop at RHS Wisley. Jonathan is passionate about trees, science, and education, so we can all enjoy blend of all three at the meeting.
Mark Gregory, the 'King of RHS Chelsea', was our speaker at our September meeting. Mark as been involved with over 120 gardens at Chelsea and we had a wonderful glimpse into the art of bringing these incredible show gardens to life.
There is a wonderful set of photographs for last month on the August Photographs page. Gardens may have been devoid of rain, but there are still some beautiful flowers to be seen. The early September Photographs are also available.
