It was lovely to welcome so many new faces, as well as lots of familiar ones, this evening at South Bristol Gardening Club. Our guest speaker, Don Everitt, wowed us with his in-depth knowledge of planting herbacious borders built up over his long career in horticulture, and brought along an interesting selection of hardy perennial plants and bulbs for us to buy and take home for our own gardens. Finishing off with lovely cakes, tea and coffee, we had a super evening, heading off home inspired to get planting for the season ahead. What a fantastic start to the gardening year. Thanks everyone for making the effort to come along on such a wet and windy evening!
