Our next talk is on Thursday 19th November, 7.30pm at WI Hall, Lowdham. We will be finding out all about Nottinghamshire’s bats in a talk entitled ‘Echolocation Location’ by Michael Walker. All are welcome and there is a small charge of £2 to non-members.
Look – amazing 50% discount offer on seeds and plants
Once again that time of year has arrived for those keen gardeners, and also novice gardeners, to plan ahead and look forward to 2016 in our gardens, allotments, courtyards, window boxes and those other pieces of ground which I can’t think of at the moment.
As a benefit to our members, we are offering the substantial discount (50%) on seeds and plants which are ordered through the Society from Suttons. Furthermore, a 10% discount is available on other garden equipment in the Suttons catalogue.
If placing an order this year, would you please return the order forms by Monday 7th December 2015 to the Society.
So come on, place an order and have a go at ‘grow your own’ and perhaps you may then decide to enter some of the results as exhibits in one of next years shows.

Coach trip to Calke Abbey & Garden, Derbys – Sun 20.09.2015
Wow, another enjoyable visit on a fine day. Bit of a slow approach for us as we arrived at the entrance gates to the parkland just as some of the ‘runners’ were completing a 10k event, which finished adjacent to the parking area. Eventually, after great patience by our driver we alighted from the coach, being given our specific times to tour the house and gardens. After all that coffee beckoned! The house with peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards depicts the dramatic decline of a grand country-house estate. We visited the many walled gardens, orangery, auricula theatre, kitchen gardens and the orchard with many varieties of fruit. This trip brought an end to our 2015 visits which have been very well supported. I’m sure that you will join me in giving an enormous thank you to our chairperson who does a tremendous job in organising the visits. Furthermore, let’s give ‘three cheers’ to our committee for their efforts this year and all those who have helped. Finally, we hope to see you at our AGM which is on Thurs 15th October 2015 at 7.30pm in Lowdham W.I. hall.
