September saw the group travel to Northamptonshire for the last trip of the year to Coton Manor. We picked a glorious day, probably the best trip, weather wise, we have had all year!
The gardens were beautiful and still full of colour. There were also hens and cockerels lazing in the sun, dozing pigs living the life of Riley and 6 flamingos in or near the lake. The volunteer gardeners were a mine of information and willing as ever to answer queries and give information about the many unusual flowers and plants.
The tearoom did a roaring trade as did the nursery, and several new plants made their way back to gardens in Hucknall. All in all, a wonderful day out.
This month, on 28th October, we are back at the John Godber Centre for a Gardeners’ Question and Answer Session, meeting at 1.30 to 3.30. Come and find out all about the problems on your plot and see if we have the solutions!
We are also having a ‘Seed Swap’ at this meeting, so if you have any surplus seeds, either in packets or from your own saving, bring them along to swap or give away to someone else.
All are welcome as we are an open group.
