The August meeting featured slides of bulbs in pots from Mr Broom's garden, and he had brought along plants for sale to supplement the group's stand.

On October 15 in the Methodist Hall, Bluntington, Andrew Garden will talk about The choice, maintenance and planting of ornamental trees for the garden.

This should be of interest to everyone, whether they are gardeners or not. Visitors are always welcome at meetings, for a small admission fee. Meetings start at 7.30pm.
