At the April meeting a good attendance of members were entertained by a long-standing friend of the club, Peter Foley of Holden Clough Nursery, who brought a vast array of plants suitable for the smaller garden. He explained the merits of each of the plants and advised on the care and location with his usual expertise and was thanked by Mrs. Rawlings. Members were then able to purchase any of the plants which Peter had described with such enthusiasm.

At the short business meeting which followed a new member was welcomed and Sally Macalpine was thanked for producing the membership cards. Tea hostesses Mrs. Ashworth, Mrs. Corless and her granddaughter were thanked and members were reminded that the May meeting is entitled “History and Uses of Herbs” by Mr. Phil Jones of Tavistock Herbs in Preston.

New members are always welcome. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month at the Bolton-by-Bowland village hall, apart from June, July and December.
