Our Summer Show is only just over 2 weeks away!
Now is the perfect time to get ahead of yourself and think about what you are going to enter this year! The schedule and entry form can be downloaded from our website.
Any help setting up on the Sunday from 2pm, helping out for an hour at the show or tidying up at the end, as ever would be greatly appreciated.
REMEMBER tonight is our Summer Social – visit to Hebbs Farm, Stoke Bardolph. We are meeting at 7pm at Village Hall to share transport or 7.20pm at Stoke Bardolph Village Hall, where we have been asked to park.
All are welcome and the cost of the visit is free to LHS members and £4 to non members.
Clumber Walled Kitchen Garden
On the evening of Thursday 25th June we are visiting Clumber Walled Kitchen Garden as a follow up to the excellent talk that the Head Gardener, Chris Margrave, gave us in February. We will be treated to a guided tour of the garden, by Chris. We are meeting at 6.45pm at Lowdham Village Hall to share transport or 7.20pm at the car park situated at the side of the Walled Garden.
All are welcome and the cost of the guided tour is £5 to LHS members and £9.50 to non members. As this is an evening tour, these costs apply to National Trust members too.
Hebbs Farmhouse, Stoke Bardolph
Following this, on the evening of Thursday 16th July we are visiting the home of Stuart Dixon, the speaker who gave an excellent talk ‘Best Borders’ earlier this June. We are going on this visit instead of having our programmed Summer Social, which was to have been the previous Thursday. Tea/coffee and fresh cream scones will be provided. We are meeting at 7pm at Village Hall to share transport or 7.30pm at Stoke Bardolph Village Hall, where we have been asked to park.
Again all are welcome and the cost of the visit is free to LHS members and £4 to non members.
We are hoping for lovely weather for both of these visits.
Our next talk is at 7.30pm on Friday 5th June at the WI Hall, Lowdham. We will be visited by Stuart Dixon local horticultural lecturer, writer and broadcaster. We will be treated to one of his talks entitled ‘Best Borders’. He will share with us his knowledge and tips about the use of perennials in herbaceous borders.
All are welcome and there is a small charge of £2 to non-members.
Tomorrow is our plant sale from 9am to 11am in Lowdham Village Hall car park. There will be vegetable plants, bedding plants, annuals and perennials available – all at a reasonable price.
