Companion Planting

We were pleased to welcome back Andrew Sankey as our speaker for our June meeting, on the evening of Thursday 20th. Andrew gave us a very interesting and informative talk about companion planting. He is really enthusiastic about the subject and suggested many ways of using plants in situations that will be beneficial to other plants. Just a couple of examples are growing lavender with roses and marigolds with tomatoes. Andrew illustrated his talk with photos of companion planting in various gardens, including his own. He also entertained us with some garden-related anecdotes. Andrew had brought copies of his "Companion Planting" booklet for people to buy, as well as quite a few plants.
We are again pleased to welcome two more new members to the Club - Wendy and Michael.
The Flower of the Month Competition was won by Lily with a clematis.
