Our October meeting is on Thursday October 9th with a pre-recorded, illustrated talk on Hydrangeas from Sally Gregson. She ran Mill Cottage Plants nursery for over thirty years specialising in Hydrangea and selling the more unusual, and interesting, species and cultivars of hydrangea and their shade-loving companions.

The talk will be preceded by our Gardenalia – a sale of our members’ surplus garden tools, plants, and books. Members will receive an email with further details nearer the time.
