Gardening Club – Highgrove Visit

The Gardening Club Committee are investigating the idea of another visit to Highgrove Gardens, the home of Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall GCVO.

Hopefully it will be in June, a weekday, and will cost between £40 & £50 per person.
This years entry was £21.50 and the coach will cost at least £375.
Limited number of 25 for both.

Anyone interested should contact Jan on T: 01258 453 470.

Gardening Club – Jobs for November

Should you want to plant a new hedge or new roses for next year, now is the time to order bare rooted stock. This will save you a great deal of cash. If you need advice as to some suppliers, please speak to Pete at the next meeting.
Once all the leaves have left your apple trees it is time for their yearly prune. Collect fallen leaves, not diseased ones, and either put on your compost heap or store in black bags. This will encourage them to break down and you will then be able to use them for mulch.
Now is the time to plant tulip bulbs ready for spring.
Clean out and replenish bird baths and feeders regularly Tennis balls are a good addition to ponds, fountains and birdbaths alike, to stop them from freezing over completely.
We’ve already experienced ground frost so all vulnerable and precious plants should be covered or moved to a safer place for winter.
Outside taps should be well insulated, or better still, the supply turned off for winter months. We don’t want the trouble of burst pipes.
