NEWS LETTER MAY 2018
Next Meeting
Wednesday 3rd May at 7.45 in Watlington Town Hall
Speaker: John Amand
John Amand’s talk is titled ‘Useful Bulbs and How they Get to your Garden’.
He has a Nursery in north London that specializes in bulbs; it has an enormous collection so it is a place to look if there is something unusual you want. I am sure he will be giving us lots of useful knowledge.
Last Month
With her talk ‘In Praise of Apples’, Charlotte Popescu gave us a history of the apple and how it has appeared in history, legend and art for thousands of years.
Plant Table: As things are now growing fast in the garden I hope you can bring along some plants to sell at our plant table, and bring your purse so you can buy some too.
Plants Fair: On Sunday May 27th there is a Rare Plant Fair at Bagpuize House, Abingdon.
And the Wallingford Garden Plant sale will be in the Market Place 9:00am-12:00pm on Saturday 12thMay selling plants and vegetables ready for your gardens.
