Mini-Shows

At most Club evenings, there will be a mini-show with Classes based on a theme, topical to the time of year if possible. The list of these topics are on the Show Page, along with the Rules for entry. The entries will be judged and prizes awarded. 

 

Friday, 2nd February

Julie Verity will be taking about "The Wild gardener". Robinson challenged many gardening traditions and introduced new ideas that have become commonplace today. He is most linked with introducing the herbaceous border, which he referred to by the older name of 'mixed border'—it included a mixture of shrubs, hardy and half-hardy herbaceous plants. He also advocated dense plantings that left no bare soil, with the spaces between taller plants filled with what are now commonly called ground cover plants. 

 

Friday 1st March

We will start the meeting with our AGM followed by a talk by Chris Stewart on The Earthworm - Everything you wanted to know but did not dare ask The Mini-Show will be Daffodils. Two classes, long stemmed and short stemmed - bring 5 stems of one or both types in vases.
