On Monday 14th September our speaker will be Nick Morgan who will talk to us on Greenhouses and Cold Frames, including the purchase, siting and er****on of greenhouses and cold frames. Also how to clean them to keep the plants within them as healthy as possible and advise on shading and watering systems. This will underpin his main focus of the presentation, which is how to maximise the use of greenhouses and cold frames throughout the seasons, as well as dealing with pests and diseases and other common pitfalls.Visitors welcome to the Cleobury Country Centre by the library at 7pm.

Flourish and Nourish hosted us in the Cleobury Community Garden at the top of Workhouse Bank on a beautiful evening. It was established in memory of one of our longstanding members, Joyce Wakeman, a very talented plantswoman. What they have achieved in such a short time is inspiring and such ambitious planning for future projects to involve all ages. Thank you and so well done to a small and vibrant team!

7pm Cleobury Country Centre
Marion Stainton – Good companions – extending interest in the smaller garden
Do you go to garden centres, can’t resist buying a plant, but then get home and think ‘where shall I put it?’ We all do that! Marion will help us to make best use of these purchases. Planting design concepts, including use of colour, texture and structure will be covered with the smaller garden in mind. She will suggest planting combinations to provide inspiration, including bulbs and ‘fireworks’ for increasing interest, with a chance for members to describe the plant combinations they use.
