14 February Update 2019

I’m hoping we can have a talk on the subject of permaculture on the 27th of February at 7:30pm at the village hall, but this is to be confirmed.
However, if this is not possible, then suggest we have a general chat based on the format of our last meeting, sharing ideas and asking questions? Appreciate your views on this please?

As far as meetings, visits and going forward, then see the summary below.

St Clears and District Gardening Club at Ysgol Griffiths Jones school on the 11th of March at 7pm for a talk by Ivor Grace on the subject of growing vegetables, charge £2 per person for a raffle ticket. The school is on the right hand side heading north along station road.

Stackpole Centre on the 20th of March, meeting at 2pm. This is a walk and talk session with Harriet and Debbie, so some gardening and history of the walled garden, and there’s the cafe serving food and cakes etc. The charge is a £30 donation to the Mind charity.

RHS show in Cardiff between the 12th to the 14th of April, tickets available on line, and as mentioned previously there are a number of coach companies running organised day trips to the RHS with local pickup points.
I’m aware that there is interest in the RHS trip, so perhaps we can discuss this at the next meeting. Appreciate not everyone can attend the RHS, but those who are interested could travel with the same coach operator?

Colby Garden on the 16th of April meeting at 10am, the charge is £8 per person for non National Trust members, also most importantly the tea rooms are open.

I’m awaiting dates for visits to Aberglasney and the Botanical Gardens for May, June, July, and will get back you soon.

Beyond this then there’s the National Garden Scheme with a number of gardens open within 25miles of us, see link below:

Also will ask Leah and Sola about a further visit to Greenacre Market Garden later in the summer.

The Wild Life Group are having a quiz night (with soup) at the Temple Bar on March the 18th at 7:30pm, anyone wishing to come along and be part of a team, please contact Dee or Pauline (critchlow23@btinternet.com or Petethebee8@gmail.com).
The questions I’m told are not too difficult and are divided into wild life and gardening sections?

Finally would appreciate any of your views and ideas going forward please.

Kind regards,

Roy
