Tuesday September 10th at 1pm
Our first meeting in September, not October as in the past, will be a social gathering.
It will be an opportunity to discuss Club matters and compare notes on this Summer's successes and failures in the garden. We would like to hold a 'seed swap' activity. If you have collected seeds from your garden and are willing to share, we would like you to put the seeds in a blank envelope. Place your name and the name of the seeds in the envelope (not on the outside).
There will also be a competition - A display of flowers from your garden. We will all have an opportunity to judge, so bring a biro with you!
Contributions towards the raffle and plant stall are always greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing you.
