Bring and Buy Evening

For our May meeting on Thursday 16th we had invited our members to bring plants, cakes and seeds. These were to be sold for club funds. Naturally we had a great response with a variety of indoor and outdoor plants plus plenty of cakes and seeds. Everyone was very generous and we took over £65 to add to the funds. As well as the "Bring and Buy" we were pleased to welcome Chris Renn who spoke to us on the topic of "Medication without the Doctor". Chris told us about the various herbal and folk remedies that were used by poor people who lived in the Fens, in the 19th century. The talk was illustrated with photos of many of the plants discussed and we found it most entertaining.

We are also pleased to welcome two new members to the Club - Linda and John.
The Flower of the Month competition was won by Ann Massingham with a very pretty aquilegia that she had grown from seed.
