Julian Tolkien was the speaker this month, he gave an informative and amusing talk on his passion for pelargoniums.He began by growing fuchsias before turning his interest to pelargoniums thirty years ago. Julian introduced us to unusual plants some with scented leaves of spices, lemon and many others, he showed us how to prune divide and propagate and a short insight into showing to.
His passion for pelargoniums was infectious and many members left with plants of their own.
