Last month’s meeting was a talk from Patsy Rayner who spoke most interestingly on Japanese Gardening.
She has a son living there so has visited several times and now tries to incorporate some of the ideas into her own plot. She showed how easy it is to add some to our own gardens, including height, to reference Mount Fuji, and gravel or moss paths to represent dry river beds or springs, or to use moss and simple green planting instead of varied flowering plants. Quite a change to what we are used to seeing and doing here.
May’s group meeting is a trip to Middleton Hall, near Tamworth.
