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.
The Gardening Club committee decided that this year, to encourage more participants the categories for the photographic section of the show should be announced as soon as decided so here goes:
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.
