She has had several articles published in Gardens Illustrated magazine including the seasonal Pots of Style series and ideas on how to combine potted plants with cut flowers and indoor bulb displays.
The talk will delve into the world of container gardening with particular focus on contemporary planting schemes using pollinator-friendly plants and succulent arrangements.
It will cover topics such as choosing containers, growing mediums and how to care for the pots after planting. Interesting combinations for shade and sunny aspects will be considered
as well as suitable vegetables for containers, permanent and seasonal displays, how to incorporate bulbs and indoor arrangements using house plants.
Plant Sales – at this meeting please bring your spare plants along to raise money for our charity Home Start. Plants should be labelled and established in clean pots. Please do not bring bare rooted plants in newspaper or bags. Miriam and Steve Thornton will price your plants in multiples of 50p, £1 coins and £5 notes to make it easy. Remember to bring any spare carrier bags along for yourself and others.
Any remaining plants at the end of the evening can either be collected by the donor or will be kept for sold at future events.
