Coming this Saturday, September 21st.

50/50 Plant Sale followed by Sally Morgan – ‘Controlling Pests and Diseases in the Organic Garden’

50/50 Plant Sale starts at 10.00am. Lecture at 11.00am

Sally is an experienced no-dig, organic gardener and plant lover whose most recent project has been the restoration of a walled garden on her farm in Somerset. She is Editor of Organic Farming Magazine, published by the Soil Association, and has a wealth of knowledge about dealing with pests and diseases without resorting to chemicals. For those of us trying to garden sustainably, this will be a really useful lecture.

The 50/50 Plant Sale is a popular event every September. The Group keeps half the money taken and returns the other half to the seller. The hall will be open from 9.30am – 10.00am to receive your plants.

Please ensure that each plant has two identical labels, both of them bearing the name of the plant, your name and the price. One will be removed so that the amount you are owed can be totted up and given to you at the end of the meeting, when you can also reclaim any unsold plants and your labels (tip: write in pencil on the labels so that they may be reused).

Selling will take place between 10.00am and 11.00am, at which point the lecture begins. Offers of help with selling on the day would be most welcome.
