Garden Club

In February, the invited speaker was Colin Hawke, from Newquay, who gave an interesting talk on Cornwall's native trees.
They were informed about where and how to plant and given advice on staking trees. Pruning was an important topic too as well as diseases - apple trees were a popular topic.
In March Mr Tony Brown, who has a nursery in Looe, gave a talk and demonstration on how to line and fill hanging baskets and containers with a wonderful collection of plants which he had brought with him.
These were on sale at bargain prices after the event. Refreshments and a raffle completed the evening.
