Our first meeting of 2024 is coming up on Saturday, with a snowdrops talk:

Micky Little – ‘Snowdrops: The Fair Maids of February’

Mickey Little trained at Cannington, was a nurseryman at Kelways and Head Gardener at Castle Drogo, Hestercombe and Achamore before joining Avon Bulbs as a propagator. His knowledge of snowdrops is extensive and he has been involved in propagating new cultivars of Galanthus over the years. For those of us who are hooked on these welcoming heralds of spring, this is a talk not to be missed.

On February 29th there will be a coach trip to Ashwood Nurseries, Kingswinford (you can read all about it on the Programme page). Penny Berry will be at the meeting on Saturday to collect booking forms.

At every meeting we have the Plant of the Month competition. For 2024 we encourage everyone to bring along an offering to expand the competition. Your mission is to bring either a cut flower and / or a pot plant, or both. The competition is usually judged by the Speaker and points awarded towards an annual award at the AGM. 

Roy Stickland also asked me to remind you that the competition includes bulbs and corms, a good time to let these little gems shine.

See you on Saturday from 10:30am, with the talk at 11am. Guests welcome (£5 on the door).
