Our March meeting welcomed Anna Liggat, a gardener at Leith Hall, to tell us about the History of the garden and how it has evolved over the years. It is aimed at conservation and development of the various areas and Anna’s particular responsibility is the kitchen garden. It is laid out in a way that enables visitors to identify it’s relevance to their own home gardens and has proved very popular .
