| From the Society: We hope you are enjoying the warmer, sunnier weather and planning what to plant out in your garden for the summer. Plant Sale – Wednesday 13th May, 2.30pm – 6.00pm Don’t forget our annual Plant Sale on Wednesday 13th May at the Horticultural Hut. This is an ideal opportunity to find just what you need for your summer planting. There will be an assortment of flowering bedding plants as well as a variety of shrubs, roses and perennials. And if you know of any non-members who are interested they can always join the society on the day to take advantage of the sale. We would greatly appreciate any offers of help and also welcome any donations of plants, cuttings and seedlings that we can sell. Donations can be pot plants, herbs, flowering plants, shrubs and vegetable seedlings, that you have grown yourself or no longer need – so long as they are healthy and good enough to buy. Please make sure donations are labelled so we know what we are selling and that they are watered. You can bring your donations along on the day or contact us to arrange collection.
