Awesome August
August is the time for our Annual Summer Show and Social. Like many other things this year, it too has had to adapt to the current situation and become a Virtual Show. More details and show entries can be seen on the Summer Show 2020 pages.
However, the spectacle of summer in the garden is in full swing, and here are a few non-show related photographs of Members' gardens looking spectacular. It truly is Awesome August (as you can never have too much alliteration...)
Jennifer & Peter
Fabulous Front Garden
The Fairlands, Liddington Hall and Gravetts Lane Community Association (FLGCA) run an annual competition for the best front garden on the Fairlands Estate.
Many congratulations to Jennifer and Peter - a well deserved winning garden.
Mel and Gill
Some wonderful pictures from Mel and Gill of their garden in their new house. Spectacular pots and hanging baskets, and there's clearly more than a drop or two of Baby-Bio on those sunflowers!
Tim & Keith
It was lovely to be able to visit the open garden of Tim & Keith and to have an enjoyable afternoon enjoying the plants with a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake. There were some questions about the varieties of some of the plants, so here are some pictures with details...
Dahlia 'Purple Flame'
Agastache 'Black Adder'
Sourwood Tree, Oxydendrum arboreum
Swamp Lily, Saururus cernuus
Dahlia 'Karma Choc'
Dahlia 'Pooh'
Lythrum virgatum 'Dropmore Purple'
Hylotelephium (Sedum) 'Cherry Truffle'
Some dead sticks and the last flower of Hemerocallis 'Joan'
