Tarvin Gardening Society – 10th May Meeting

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, 10th May at 8pm in the Edna Rose Room of Tarvin Community Centre, Meadow Close.

Each year at the AUGUST HORTICULTURAL SHOW, there is a special members' class where the ability of our members to nurture a geranium plant is put to the test. At the May meeting, all of the members will be GIVEN a small geranium to grow on and to encourage into magnificence by mid-August. All of the plants are identical – so the difference in August will be a clear demonstration of the love and succour provided by the member!

Come along and collect your FREE geranium at this meeting!

This month we are to have a fascinating talk that will be given by Linda Webb:-"The story of Hoole Allotments."

Linda is a keen local historian and the Chairman of Hoole Gardens and Allotments Association. Horticulture in Hoole has a long and rich history – the allotments have been in use for a century or more – and Linda's talk will cover both the heritage and the history of the allotments, as well as growing on the allotments, and life there today amidst a strong and vibrant colony of allotmenteers. There was a time when Tarvin had its own allotments. Linda's talk will show us what we are missing!

Tea, coffee and biscuits are to be served afterwards.
