Doddington Hall: the House & Gardens

We were pleased to welcome David Logan as speaker for our April meeting on Thursday 17th. David is the Head Gardener at Doddington Hall - and has been for about a year. He gave us a short history of the house. It is an Elizabethan building whose footprint is the shape of a letter "E" to honour the first Elizabeth. David also told us about the development of the various gardens, formal, wild and kitchen, with accompanying photographs.
The Flower of the Month competition was won by Penny with an aquilegia.
We are again pleased to welcome some new members - this time Carl and Christine, who live in Swineshead.
