Frampton Gardening Club
Since our last update in Kirton News, we have had two more meetings. Our September speaker was a lovely lady by the name of Gill Walsh, who took us on a virtual tour of Kew Gardens, telling us about the history of Kew and how it has developed over the years, along with many slides of the beautiful plants and trees.
Did you know Kew has been open to the public since 1840? It was 56 years before the first women gardeners were employed there, in 1896. What a long time to wait to work in such a lovely place!
Our speaker for October was Geoff Hodge. Geoff is a gardening and horticultural writer and is the former editor for Gardening News magazine, which will be familiar to many gardeners. The topic for the night was Pests and Bugs, and he delivered it with enthusiasm, and humour. I think we all went home armed with enough knowledge to tackle those pesky pests that attack our plants!
Our next meeting is our last one for 2024 on November 28th, 7.30pm at Frampton village Hall, Middlegate Road. We will have our usual Annual Lunch in January at the Thatched Cottage, then back in March 2025 for another year of meeting gardening friends, for chats, speakers, outings etc. We welcome new members any time, and if you would like to give us a try (first meeting is free) contact Ray Harding on 01205 723181 or Maggie Welberry on 07711131971.
