Gardening Club – Stourpaine Open Gardens
STOURPAINE OPEN GARDENS
The Stourpaine Gardening Club committee have decided to have another go at opening members gardens in aid of charity.
To give everyone plenty of notice, as it can be hard work getting your garden up to scratch, or you may have an area you want to re-develop. The plan is to hold the event over a weekend in June 2014, in conjunction with a Flower Festival in The Church.
All members living in the village will be approached to open their garden; members living outside the village will be approached to marshal and assist with refreshments.
Pete will be looking for volunteers to help him with the organisation as I, Jan, will be assisting Fran with the Flower Festival.

Anyone with subjects to be addressed at the AGM should contact Jan or Pete as soon as possible, so that it can be put on the agenda.
We will be away the week of the AGM and not returning until the 8th, so it needs to be timely so our house/dog sitter is not bothered.

Gardening Club – 2013 Highgrove Visit
Highgrove Visit
You have all been told previously of our intention to visit Highgrove, sometime in June. I cannot be precise as the booking line for 2013 doesn’t open until February when they will contact me.
For the visit to be viable we need 25 people, maximum for the coach, at a cost of around £40 each. (£25 entry & £15 for the Coach).
We currently have 12 names, so halfway there. We need a nearly full coach for the trip to be viable.
If you are interested at all, please contact Jan on 01258 453 470 ASAP.
Gardening Club – Review of 2012 Christmas Shopping Event
Christmas Shopping Event – Castle Gardens Sherborne
An evening which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.
We started with tea& coffee in the Restaurant conservatory. Due to last year’s poor turnout they moved us to smaller, cosier accommodation, and we were soon splitting the sides.
So much so that they had to search for more chairs due to high numbers. We had a short talk by Malc, one of the Gold Team Speakers, who spoke of colour in the garden at winter. He then went on to explain the differences between the fir trees used for Christmas Trees. When this was finished, we enjoyed the Christmas display and shopped. Maggie Stainer was there to meet us all, as she lives a few roads away and invited us back to her new home, for a drink and festive nibbles. This was very welcome and enjoyed by all who came!
Thank you Maggie & Frank.
