2nd April, Spring Show and Talk on Clematis from Geoff Hodge
We had a fabulous set of entries for this year's spring show with many superb daffodils, tulips, hellebores, spring shrubs, pot plants and spring arrangements. Thanks to Elizabeth Boakes and Alison Weir for running the show, and congratulations to all who entered something and to the winners of the trophies.

Friday 17th April, 7.30pm Spring Quiz
As the gardening year cranks into action, why not also stimulate the little grey cells by joining in our Spring Quiz? Start thinking about a table of 10, as bookings will go live in early March. Katharine will be hosting a chairman's table, so if you don't want to put together a table why not think about joining her?
