Saturday October 2nd “How Did Your Garden Grow and Harvest Buffet”
This meeting will combine our popular autumn crop review with a harvest buffet. Ruth will chart the information sent in on the questionnaires enclosed with the newsletter- bring them with you if you forget to post them - and a lively discussion will arise where we’ll all learn lots from each other whilst nibbling our nosh. So do come, it has always been helpful, reassuring and stimulating to share our experiences of the gardening year in this way.
Please bring some nibbles to share if you can - finger food rather than hearty stews- or something to drink, but just bring yourselves anyway, don’t be shy.
Phoenix Community Centre 7.30 pm – 9.15 pm
Monday November 15th “Companion Planting”
Ruth will attempt a power point presentation on this fascinating topic, sorting out fact from fiction, and arriving at some clear conclusions with the help of lots of group input and discussion. This will be upstairs to allow access to the Phoenix Centre’s technology and so unfortunately, will not be wheelchair accessible.
Phoenix Community Centre 7.30 – 9.15 pm
Saturday December 11th "BHOGG Christmas Party"
Fab friends, food, fun and a new quiz master; bring wine and grub if you can, but mostly just bring yourselves for a relaxed evening with fellow gardeners.
