and gardening, covering the needs of both the expert and the

atmosphere, and talks are followed by the opportunity to
exchange news and views over a cup of tea. Visitors are
welcome to attend the meetings

Previous Meetings
The new season had a great start in May
with Kate Taylor from Denbighshire County
Council giving us a talk on Biodiversity.
Some frightening facts made us realise just how many plants
and animals are being lost around the world. But then she
gave us tips on how we can all play a part in our gardens to
help our native flora and fauna survive.
The Gardeners Question Time evening in
June, prompted many questions, which were
ably answered by our local experts - Jim Buchanan
and Graham Pickles. Everyone picked up some tips on
how to improve our plants and gardens.
Later that month our plant sale and coffee morning was a
huge success, raising £480.
A big Thank You to everyone who contributed in any way.
July
saw Graham Pickles back again, this time
giving us an excellent talk on Roses.
He explained about the different types of Roses and brought
along some plants to demonstrate how they should be pruned.
With tips on the way to grow them and how to combat pests
and diseases, we should all have beautiful roses in our
gardens next year.
Our Garden Visit was to the nearby garden
of Bryn Bella in Tremeirchion, which
features an award winning gravel garden, designed by the
multi gold medal winner Andy Sturgeon. Open under the
National Garden Scheme to the public, we enjoyed a private
visit in the evening.
