Mandy Bradshaw, aka The Chatty Gardener will present her Guide to Cotswold Gardens in a talk entitled ‘Beyond the Garden Gate’. The talk is free to Gardening Club Members or £5 on the door for non members incl light refreshments.
Mandy Bradshaw is an award winning, Cotswold based garden journalist, photographer and public speaker. She is a regular contributor to national publications including Homes & Interiors, Garden News and to Cotswold Life. A member of the Professional Garden Photographers Association, so we can expect some colourful slides, she will also have some cards with her featuring her pictures and these will be available for cash sale so please bring cash if you can.
In March we enjoyed a lively and engaging talk from horticultural expert Ray Broughton. As well as giving us lots of suggestions for herbaceous perennials suitable for our gardens he also gave us some useful tips. One such tip was to use tomato sauce to clean garden shears, coat the blades and leave for 2-3 days then rinse off. A couple of us have tried it and can confirm it works!!
Don’t forget that members enjoy 10% discount on garden plants from Burford Garden Centre, 10% off all products in the garden dept at Timms in Brize Norton (great for gardening tools, compost and seeds) and 10% off plants, bulbs and seeds at Cassington Nurseries. Just take your membership card along. What better way to take advantage of Ray’s planting suggestions!
