By the time you read this we will have had our February meeting, a talk on A Spring Garden.
We are currently taking names for our first trip, on 3rd March, to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, leaving Ogle Street at 9.30 am. The cost is £20.

There are some gardens opening in February for the NGS, I thought some of you might be interested if the weather is favourable!
15 and 16 Feb | The Dower House, Melbourne, DE73 8JH Oak Cottage, Well Lane, Swadlincote, DE11 8AG Church Farm, Church Lane, West Drayton, DN22 8EB |
22 and 23 Feb | Hedgehog Hall, 3 Loddington Rd, Tilton on the Hill, LE7 9DE The Old Vicarage, The Fields, Middleton by Wirksworth, Matlock, DE4 4NH |

Just a reminder that we are having our plant swap a month earlier this year, at our April meeting, so if you are starting to plan your growing for this year, or indeed have already started, and you have more than you need, please bring some along to exchange with others.
Patricia Rayner is coming to that meeting to talk about Japanese Gardening. She was snowed in when she was due to come in 2024, so we look forward to her talk this year.
