| Group email: | Practical Gardening group |
| When: | On Friday afternoons Fourth Friday of the month |
Meetings: 2-00pm -4-00pm on the fourth Friday each month from March to October.
Venue(s): members, in turn, host the meetings in their gardens. In very wet weather meetings have to be indoors, so membership is restricted to 13.
Pattern: welcome and introduction by host - history of house/garden, changes, plans etc. Tour of garden led by host. Tea/coffee is made and cakes/biscuits are laid out whilst members look round the garden in groups. After refreshments plants, cuttings, seeds, magazines and surplus garden produce (tomatoes, apples, strawberries etc.) brought by members are shared.
The focus is PRACTICAL gardening and occasionally we get our hands dirty.
Members' interests are mainly flowers and bushes but some also grow fruit and/or vegetables.
By sharing knowledge, experience and expertise we learn together and from each other.
