Stourton Caundle Garden Club
The Garden Club goes from strength to strength, now having over 70 members. We enjoy a relaxed atmosphere in our monthly meetings where we have a variety of speakers, often selling plants. Recent topics included ‘Designing a show garden’, ‘Getting to know umbellifers’, ‘Growing vegetables—Dirty Nails of the Blackmore Vale’ and ‘Creating and maintaining ponds’. The January supper is always a huge success, whilst the Annual Show brings the whole village together and looks wonderful (see below).
Programme for 2011/12
All meetings on a Wednesday in the Village Hall 7.15 for 7.30 unless otherwise stated. Refreshments available.
