Lots planned for the year for Elmswell Gardening Club

With Spring just round the corner and the current mild weather giving a welcome break to the dreary winter months the Elmswell Gardening Club have unveiled their plans for the current year which include a series of talks and outings.

The club usually meets at 7.30pm on the third Tuesday of the month from February until November at the Blackbourne Centre, Blackbourne Road, in Elmswell.

Full membership costs £15 per year, visitors pay £4 per meeting.

The members have formed a friendly group and are keen to welcome newcomers. Being a fantastic gardener is not a prerequisite, an interest in plants is sufficient.

Their plans for the year include a trip to the National Trust site of Anglesey Abbey on Tuesday, February 19; Fruit Tree Pruning, March 19; Compost, Worms and Comfrey for Fertility, April 16; visit to Woolpit Nursery, May 21; Companion Planting, June 18; Summer outing, July 16; Jane Austen’s Gardens: Real and Imagined, September 17;  Suffolk’s Secret Jungle, October 15 and the annual general meeting, November 20.
