Minutes of meeting. Plant Sale – 13th May 2017 ran like clockwork. Proposed 2017 Trips. A.O.B. Our speaker for the evening was William Scott who gave a very interesting talk entitled ‘Walled Garden at Worcester’.
William and his wife took over an abandoned walled garden in Worcester and are slowly restoring it to its former glory. |
Minutes of meeting. Plant Sale – 13th May 2017 in the Parish Hall – get sowing and planting. Proposed 2017 Trips. Tips & Wrinkles. A.O.B. Our speaker for the evening was Adam Alexander who gave a very interesting talk entitled ‘Veg Growing in Syria and Burma’.
Adam works for the Heritage Seed Library and styles himself a ‘Plant Detective’. He travels the world, mostly in the third world, visiting
markets and villages where traditional plants are still grown and sold. Here he discovers plants that are endangered due to the changes in
what we eat. Many traditional food plants are no longer grown because they do not conform to the diktats of major supermarket buyers. |
Minutes of meeting. Proposed 2017 Trips. Tips & Wrinkles. A.O.B. Our speakers for the evening were Sue Dodds and Sue Smith who gave a very interesting talk entitled ‘Butterflies of Gloucestershire’. These ladies are a bit like the 2 Ronnies, happily taking turns to speak and coming up with well rehearsed quips when required. |

Gill Truebody will be the new contact for Sutton’s Seeds. There has been a bit of a furore recently about a sighting of an Asian Hornet in Tetbury. TT innocently enquired how one could identify the creature – do they wear turbans? No help was forthcoming. Our speaker for the evening was Arthur Ball who gave a very interesting talk entitled Birds, Tigers and the Taj during which he described his journey through northern India on a bird watching trip. |
Minutes of meeting. It was decided that we will book a speaker for the AGM in 2017. Nothing else of note to report.
