| Vince Potts of Clitheroe entertained members
in September with his slides of wonderful begonias with their
attractive foliage and flowers. He discussed their propagation
and care with a few of his own begonias and members were anxious
at the close of the meeting to take home pieces of leaf he
had left for their own propagation.
The Chairman thanked the tea hosts, Mike Rawlings and Neil
Campy.
The highlight of the year was a visit to Highgrove House,
the garden of HRH The Prince of Wales at the end of August.
Mainly members, and a few friends, enjoyed a truly inspiring
day. A visit was made to the National Arboretum at Westonbirt
for lunch and then a short journey to Highgrove where visitors
were escorted by a guide through these wonderful gardens
followed by tea and biscuits before the journey back to Bolton
by Bowland.
