ON Tuesday, March 14, Harriet Rycroft gave us an excellent talk on ‘Summer Exuberance in Pots and Containers’. She was formerly the Head Gardener at Whichford Pottery. Her talk was illustrated with slides which clearly showed how she planned, created and maintained many large displays of planted pots all year round at the pottery, at her home and at Chelsea Flower Show. She gave us lots of tips on plant choice, use of pots, drainage, propagation and on-going care of the plants used.
Upcoming events - April 8 we will be holding our Annual Spring Show in Ebrington Village Hall.The Show will be open at 2.30pm; prizegiving at 3.45pm; afternoon teas available.There are 41 classes including three children’s classes.
Our next club meeting will be in Ebrington Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday April 11 when we will have a talk on ‘Alpines in the Wild and Cultivation’. This will be given by Diane Clement who is currently the Director of the Seed Exchange for the Alpine Garden Society-the largest seed exchange of its type in the world.
