Programme

Ideas for our new programme are always welcome – please get in touch

News for September: We talked about buying plants for the station and the options are for bulk mail order for say 10 plants at £1 each, but some may need nurturing at home before planting out, 1 litre cottage perennials from Blue Diamond garden centre, at approx £3 per pot, or they have 3 litre pots of larger perennials for about £9 per plant. If you want to browse the online catalogue, it is here. For your own personal planting too, if you want to save on p&p costs; https://www.dutchbulbs.co.uk/

Also see our Facebook page for photos and more details.

Note: we usually start whatever the weather – we have rarely cancelled! Except for when world circumstances force us to.
