29 Oct 2022 update

 Good evening everyone,

I hope you are all in good health, and stayed indoors on a wet and windy Autumnal day.

On a positive front, don't forget the clocks go back an hour overnight, so an extra hour in bed!

 

Many thanks to those who came along to a very interesting and thought provoking talk on invasive plant species, given by Matthew Tebbutt from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

When it comes to Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotweed, then a survey of the waterways and wetlands in our community wouldn't go amiss.

What do you think?

 

Our next talk is with Rachel Barber from Carmarthenshire Meadow Group, and on the 9th of November at 7pm at LVH. Please come along, the cost as usual is £3 per person and this includes light refreshments.

I will remind you nearer the date, and let you know the title of Rachel's talk at the same time.

 

Finally I've not forgotten, but I will prepare a draft constitution for our gardening group for discussion soon.

 

Kind regards, 

Roy

Garden Group Talks Winter 2022

 

Gardening Group Talks

As far as gardening group talks at Llanteg village hall during the coming months, then these are the dates and speakers we have booked, all at 7pm unless otherwise mentioned, we will have tea and light refreshments and a room raffle. There will be a reminder email a week before each of the dates, please come along if practicable.

The cost of gardening talks can be quite frightening, we recently made an inquiry and was very surprised to find that an hour long talk which didn't include travelling expenses would cost £1,000, some thankfully charge around £100 but £250 is not uncommon. Most Gardening Clubs are able to tap into funding because they have a constitution and therefore qualify to apply for such funding.

All of the talks are subject to any variations on Covid advice.
