On the 1st of May Plant Sale day the thought goes through your mind, “will there be enough plants? Will there be enough buyers?“ There was no need to worry, the plants filled all the tables, even the bad winter had not stopped our members from sowing the bedding and vegetables or splitting the perennials. As for the buyers they were queuing before 10am and soon the tables were cleared and the club was in profit by £275.20 which is an all time record. Thank you everyone.

On the 5th May at 7pm we entered the Butterfly House at Castle Gardens, Sherborne. The place was crowded and Mike our speaker explained “there had been a clash in the fixture list“ The other people present were from Cheselborne Garden Club and we all enjoyed Mike’s 30 minute talk which was informative and very amusing.

From his groaning specimen table he showed us a Photinia called Little Red Robin which grows to only 3 - 4 ft high and as with the larger variety should be cut back as soon as the red growth fades in order to get a bushier shrub and a second flush of colour. His table also carried a range of geraniums including a variety called Royal Oak.

The meeting concluded in the usual way with our members enjoying the benefits
of Membership of the Gold Club which included 25% discount on all purchases that night.

The next event is our visit to Mapperton Gardens on Thursday June 3rd at 2.30pm using our own transport. Anyone needing a lift is asked to get in touch with a committee member. Meeting in the car park. Members and Non - Members welcome.
