The
Next Meeting: Our next meeting is on Monday
4th February, when Simon Wallis will be telling us all about growing Alpines
at Cambridge University Botanic Garden. Simon is a supervisor in the Alpine
and woodland section at the Botanic Garden. The Group has arranged a visit
to the CUBG in June, so you can see the fruits of his labour
for yourselves in a few months time. We will give more details of the visit nearer
the time. Meetings are
from 19:30 to 21:30, with the speaker beginning at 20:00. Entry is £2 for
Group members, £3 for visitors and free for children and students; this fee
includes refreshments. Classes for the February
monthly competition:

Four to six cut flowers from the exhibitor's
garden displayed in vases (supplied). Not limited to a single bloom of any
