The
Next Meeting: As I'm sure you all already
know the Alpine Garden Society was founded in late 1929. So to celebrate its
90th birthday we are very pleased to welcome the current President,
Christopher Bailes, to speak to us at our meeting
on Monday 2nd March. His subject will be "The Gondwana
Garden - plant distribution in the Southern Hemisphere". Gondwana was the super-continent which broke up millions
of years ago and formed South America, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. So
we should have a very interesting evening finding out about the similarities
and the differences in the plants native to these far-flung regions. Reminder - Plants for sale! Although John Spokes retired from running Little Heath Farm Nursery a couple of years ago, he has now made arrangements with the person who now runs it to bring along some of her plants for sale. So come prepared! Meetings are
from 19:30 to 21:30, with the talk 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 March monthly
competition:
