Welcome to Waterperry Gardens Club!

Introduction

Waterperry Gardens Club is a voluntary organisation. We bring season ticket holders and Waterperry village card holders together to enjoy social and horticultural events such as coffee mornings, special events such as talks, garden visits and volunteering. We are very fortunate that Rob Jacobs, Horticultural Manager is normally able to clear his diary for our coffee morning talks and tours. Rob is adept at making us feel 'part of the team', and he also gives handy seasonal tips for gardening at home. Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, there will something special for you!We aim to support projects within Waterperry Gardens; for example planting in woodland, in the arboretum and in other sites within the gardens. We also aim to promote horticultural education at Waterperry, e.g. for apprentices and training.If you have taken the step of buying an annual Waterperry ticket, why not join us for coffee mornings and other events? There is no membership fee.

Coffee Morning

Tuesday, May 5th

After a few weeks of warm, sunny weather, the day was much cooler and we were reminded that 'we should not cast a clout until May is out'. Sophie Heldhart gave a fascinating talk about her work in the Saxifraga collection and how she came to love this wonderful family of plants. Chris Lanczak showed us tiny grubs that are beginning to appear in apple flower buds on some of the orchard trees. He then took us into the orchards and to see new methods of preventing frost damage, followed by a visit to the knot garden to see how Rob is preventing frost damage to the Wisteria by using large lit candles at night. A most informative and ineresting morning
