Our next Club Meeting on Tuesday 11th November from 8-10 pm at Emmanuel Parish Centre will allow us to meet one of our Covid-19 lockdown Zoom speakers in person. Simon Horrill will be telling us about 'Colour in the Garden'. In late autumn, our gardens may well be looking a bit dull as the autumn colour fades but the winter and spring show is yet to start. A perfect time therefore to think about how best to use colour for maximum effect, and how to plan for a more colourful show next year.
At our September meeting, Andrew Elms from Lordington Lavender on the South Downs gave us an entertaining insight into the creation of a lavender farm with 'The Trials and Tribulations of Lordington Lavender' and how growing this prized essential oil together with the maintenance of wild flower borders and environmental consideration can benefit so much wildlife.
We are well into a very colourful autumn and there are lots of beautiful photographs to enjoy on the October Photographs page.
The new 2026 Club Calendar is also available.
See the 2025 Club Programme, the Potting Shed pages, or the Newsletter for more information on Club meetings and activities.
