HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone
Just a reminder that our first event of 2026 is the social event with the History Society that we are hosting this year. It is at 7.30pm at Lowdham Village Hall. As we are hosting, we ask our members to bring along something to add to the buffet table. The Society will buy the drinks but if members can bring something sweet or savoury to share that would be great.
There will be quizzes and it always a fun evening.
Hope to see lots of you there.
Wishing a very Happy Christmas to all our members and those who have supported Lowdham Horticultural Society over the past 12 months. Our next event is the social with the History Society which we are hosting on Friday 9th January. I will send out more details in the New Year.
Unfortunately, there has been a change to the programme for our first talk of the new horticultural year. Colin, who was meant to be doing the talk, is not feeling well so kindly Tracey Akehurst, a local speaker, has agreed to step in at the last minute. Details of her talk below.
Bit more info about the Drunken Botanist…
Every great drink starts with a plant.
Coupled with our obsession for alcohol, and its influence on our lives it is a marriage made in a garden.
Learn the benefits of fermented fruit to prehistoric man, the advantages of beer over water, that civilised conversation required wine, and why gin and rum were so important to the Royal Navy.
And in the process discover the botanical origins of our favourite drinks: beer, wine, spirits, and even a mixer or two…
Hope to see lots of you on Thursday evening 7.30pm at Lowdham Community Room, off Old Tannery Drive NG14 7PS
