We were pleased to welcome Andy Boyton, Head Gardener of Springfields Gardens, as speaker at our November meeting on Thursday 19th. Andy told us some of the history of the gardens, including how a lot of the land had been compulsorily purchased for the building of the by-pass road. The gardens are run as a charity and are funded by the car-parking charge and by a levy from the shops and other businesses there. We were told about the considerable number of bulbs, particularly daffodils and tulips, that are planted each year to give such stunning displays.
The Flower of the Month Competition was won by Tony with a red penstemon.
