Gardening Club

During November the Oxhill Garden Club welcomed Mrs. Cropley whose interesting talk was entitled “Trees and Shrubs in Smaller Gardens. Mrs Cropley began by providing a plant list, which for many of us helped greatly, alleviating the need for some of us to dig deep for our school day Latin (excuse pun). The plants, shrubs and small trees which Mrs Cropley talked about, and showed on her very professional slides were those she felt would be suitable in the smaller garden and she certainly chose many with rather different colouring to those normally seen on fairly common species.

At the beginning of December a trip has been arranged to Birmingham Botanical Gardens, where for a few days in early December, the gardens are lit up and open to the public. The Club’s annual Christmas Meal is to be on the 15th December at the Peacock and the first meeting in the New Year will be on the 18th January given by Gillian Hawtin from Flower Thyme in Kineton and entitled ‘Winter Colour in your Garden’.
