The Next Meeting:

 

 

For our next meeting on Saturday 27th April, we return to our normal format with a talk by Julia Corden on the Flowers of Wengen, an alpine resort in Switzerland surrounded by fabulous scenery and beautiful alpine flowers.

Julia was for many years manager of the Explorers Garden in Pitlochry, a garden showcasing the many plants brought back to this country by Scottish plant hunters. Whilst in Scotland she was President of the Scottish Rock Garden Club, guiding it through the disruptive pandemic years, and has recently returned to her native Sussex to manage an estate there. She is an experienced tour leader and has led many trips for, amongst others, Brightwater Holidays and the North American Rock Garden Club.

 

Come along to the Elgar Room at the Weatherley Centre from 2.30pm. The talk will start at 3pm.

 

Entry is £2 for members of the Group, and £5 for visitors.
