Seedling Swap and Sale

Members’ lecture meeting. Guests are welcome to attend up to two meetings before becoming members.

Elizabeth Farrar’s passion is for pansies, violas and sweet violets and and she will talk to us about the history and cultivation of these much loved but often misunderstood plants. Elizabeth is the author of a book on this subject and was also researcher for the TV series, Geoffrey Smith’s World of Flowers. She has gardened for 25 years in Berkshire.

As usual at our lecture meetings there will also be:

Plant display - Plant sale - Seed exchange - Book sale - Raffle - Teas

Theme for this month’s plant display - Anything grown from seed

Followed by the Seedling Swap and Sale

Following the great success of last year’s Seedling Swap, which coincided with our 21st celebration, we are planning another in April, in a new hall for us, at Headcorn. So, now is the time to study the seed lists, order your seeds and sort out all those you collected last year so that you’ll have seedlings to bring to swap. We would like everyone to take part by bringing seedlings but if you can’t do so, please still come and join in – you’ll be able to buy some at very small cost. There really is no more enjoyable way of growing new plants than from seed and if you can share those you have left over with fellow members and take in exchange others you’ve never even considered, it’s even better. Let’s make this year’s event more successful than ever.
