Gardening Club News

Peter Jones invited us to romp through “The Night Garden” on 16th September.  This most qualified of gardeners gave members an often hilarious insight into why we should invest in a round the clock sanctum and why the garden’s intimate space should be fragrant, make sounds and be, above all, tactile ( without prickles for those naturalists among us!).

He gave us ideas for non-mowing, scented lawns and low-maintenance planting.  We heard that certain colours are better for the night and that we could introduce seasonal and imaginative accessories to express individuality – and to not worry about the expense!

Peter’s unusual planting methods involving sodden newspaper, methylated spirits, washing-up liquid and liquid fertilizer give much food for thought.

It was a most entertaining and informative evening.

Members, remember to get your photos to Reg Gethin.
