As the hot weather and drought seem to be going on forever I thought I’d remind you of our first MAD visit this year on the 11 th of June to the The Dower House in Melbourne, Derbyshire (DE73 8JH), it poured with rain but the Derbyshire hardy gardeners had a wonderful day.
Griselda Kerr, showed us round her celebrated 1.5-acre private garden with a water feature like no other.
Thank you to Pauline for organising the trip
Our meetings start again on the 19th Sept so I hope to see you all then

which the under gardener insists is a good companion. The vibrant red
flowers just light up the rockery. What a cracking plant it
