A day after the coach trip we had our regular monthly meeting, welcoming Nigel Hopes from John’s Garden at Ashwood Nurseries, which we last visited in spring two years ago, with an inspiring presentation on all its beautiful seasons. He explained the behind-the-scenes work, how the garden continues to evolve, and how we can achieve some similar effects in our own smaller plots, with plant recommendations. After his talk he drew the raffle and judged our monthly competition, then we were able to purchase his home-grown Hopes Garden Plants.
Anita took first place this month with her dahlia, then Rosalie’s helenium was 2nd, and Sue’s carnation 3rd. Please scroll to the bottom of the post to see them all. Over refreshments, members and guests browsed our bit and bobs table, and collected schedules for our annual show on 30th August. All topped off with a beautiful nearly-full moon as we left the hall!
