Graham Smith runs the Home Farm Plants Nursery in Bovingdon and his talk is titled ‘ElatumDelphiniums’. The nursery specializes in Delphiniums and they have won several RHS medals for their displays at shows. Delphiniums are spectacular plants and I am sure he will give us tips on how get them to thrive. Graham will also be bringing plants to sell, so don’t forget to bring some money.
Last Month: Chris Day’s talk was “Taming the Indoor Garden” - everything you need to know about growing foliage and flowering houseplants successfully, plus a look at orchid growing - and how houseplants can improve your health. The talk was informative and members received very good answers to their questions. Chris also bought lots of plants to illustrate his talk which he sold off afterwards.
