Gardening Club
Do you like gardening, or want to learn about gardening? Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, our Gardening Club should suit you. So come and join us!
We are a group of French and English-speaking amateur gardeners who love gardening and learning new techniques, but also love meeting, exchanging ideas, visiting gardens and nurseries and enjoying each other's company.
Recently the Gardening Club encompassed an eco-friendly approach on preservation of wild areas and wildlife.
The Gardening Club usually meets one Saturday or Thursday per month, with a possible break in the winter months.
Activities include:
• exchange of plants, cuttings, seeds, bulbs, pots...
• demonstrations of various techniques by members of the club, other knowledgeable amateurs and sometimes by professionals (cutting, grafting, layering, pruning rose plants, shrubs and trees, composting, floral creations, hanging baskets, etc.)
• visits to gardens, parks, plant fairs and nurseries, preferably local ones.
This year, Catherine took over from Di as head of the Gardening Club. The usual activities continue, with the addition of visits to more local nurseries and, at the request of some club members, visits to a few gardens a little further afield, such as La Roche Jagu. She would also like members to suggest activities so that the club can cater to everyone's wishes and tastes.
