At our October Meeting on the 10th, our guest speaker will be Sarah Witts, the head gardener at Lyme Park, with a talk entitled "A Year at Lyme".
Most of us will be familiar with our near neighbour and its magnificent gardens. We look forward to an interesting talk which will doubtless reveal some of the hard work that goes into it.
Despite the recent deluge in which some of the garden was damaged, it is still beautiful.
David Domoney
"The Living Garden "
Our September Meeting on the 12th, was a "Special Ticket" event, featuring the celebrity gardener and renowned speaker David Domoney.
David shared his passion for the garden and the many creatures that reside within it. From insects to amphibians, mammals to micro-organisms, our gardens are teeming with life.
In a talk crammed with information as well as humour and wit, David shared with us five of his favourite life forms to be found there. Hedgehogs, birds, bees, ladybirds and microbes featured in his presentation.
To round off the talk he gave a very enjoyable series of tip and tricks, featuring heavily on cost free items, many with a humorous aspect.
