A large number of members have enjoyed
two evening visits to gardens since we last had a meeting in June.
The visits to both Denston Hall and Giffords Hall
took place on lovely summer evenings and were very enjoyable. Many
thanks to the owners for letting us walk around their lovely gardens
and enjoying two very pleasant evenings.
In early July we had a coach outing to The
Plantation Garden in Norwich and the Old Rectory Garden nearby.
We were extremely lucky with the weather because all the way there
it had rained, but the afternoon was fine and sunny and warm. The
tennis at Wimbledon was abandoned for three hours on the same day
because of heavy rain, so we obviously went in the right direction!!
The coach was nearly full and everybody enjoyed looking at two very
different gardens.
The Summer Show also
has taken place, again on a beautiful summer's day. The hall looked
splendid with all the entries and lots of people came round in the
afternoon to look at the flowers, plants, vegetables, cookery and
handicraft exhibits, as well as the beautiful flower arrangements.
Thank you everyone who entered the show - without people taking part
we cannot put on such a splendid show. It was nice to see so many
vegetable entries this year, as these have been very low during recent
years. well done to everybody and thank you very much (also to all
the children from the school, who put on such a marvellous show every
year - we do enjoy looking at the things that you have made and painted
and written about).
Our meetings are due to start again on Monday 22nd September
