The Garden Group - Update


The Garden Group (see Download Documents) has met and it seems that it may be a valuable resource.

Two issues have come up:

  • Do we want to explore joint renting of machinery, for example, heavy duty chipper/shredder and long reach hedge trimmers?
  • What about bulk buying of consumables such as compost, perlite, grit etc. as well as seeds, bulbs and plug plants?

Please let Vivienne know when you could normally make a session, or when you regularly couldn't as she'd like to plan the next one.


Let's do some cuttings.  So, if you have a shrub or perennial or something you would like to try propagating bring along largeish pieces (8" maybe) in good nick, this year's growth and without flowers.  Cut it as late as you can before coming and keep it in a plastic bag with some wet paper towel till we need it.  No guarantees, depends on what you bring, but we'll give it a go.
