Unfotunately, we had had to make a change to our June speaker as Jade from Hook Heath Flowers cannot attend. Therefore, our next Club Meeting on Tuesday 9th June from 8-10 pm at Emmanuel Parish Centre will be a talk by Tim Bonnert on 'Plants that Changed the World'. There are many plants that one might consider have made a transformative change to the world from food crops to medicinal plants. Tim will take us on an historical and horticultural journey through a few of these landmark plants, and how they have impacted us so profoundly.
Our May meeting was a fascinating talk by Julie Verity on the serendipitous meeting in 1990 of Beth Chatto, the 'Queen of Chelsea' and the artist Derek Jarman' that cemented Beth's resolve to create her famous Gravel Garden and the techniques and planting need to grow without irrigation. 'Beth Chatto, Derek Jarman, and Dry Gardening'.
There are some lovely pictures on the April Photographs page that capture the beautiful April we have enjoyed this year.
The 2026 Club Programme is available, or you can see the Last Year's Club Programme, the Potting Shed pages, or the Newsletter for more information on Club meetings and activities.
