The 2026 Club Programme of speakers and social activities
Our July meeting on Tuesday 14th July from 8-10 pm at Emmanuel Parish Centre will be a talk by Mark Saunders on 'Garden Inspiration'. We often visit a variety of different gardens at this time of year and are amazed at what other people have acheived. However, with some simple guidance and some beautiful examples of what is possible, it is easy to add a bit more 'wow' to your own garden. Mark will be showing us how.
Our June meeting was a slight change to the published schedule with Tim Bonnert entertaining us on 'Plants that Changed the World'. From Cinchona to Rubber and from Nutmeg to Tea, Tim gave us an insight into how the demand for different plants shaped the world we know today.
There are some fantastic pictures on the May Photographs page that capture the beauty of late Spring.
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.
