The Holybourne Gardeners Club is a group of locals with a shared interest in gardening. We aim to meet regularly on the 3rd Thursday of the month in The Church. The present subscription is £24 p.a. or £2 per meeting if you just want a taster. Anyone is welcome to join to share ideas and general passion for gardening. If you don’t think you know anything them come along and pick up tips.
27th January was an excellent evening with a talk by Geoff Hawkins on “Shrubs, the backbone of the Garden” – giving you some ideas of which shrubs you could use in your garden to give structure, shape and texture as well as colour through flowers, stems and foliage.’
Up and coming activities:-
we have been invited to help to develop a border within Andrews Endowed. The border runs SE to NW, is about 2 metres deep and the accessible bit is about 10 metres long. A working party will be set up by Charlie Waters in half term (16-20 February), so if you’re around and interested in helping to cut back some shrubs that have outgrown their space, weed out brambles and plant with whatever plants we have donated, do let me know. I’ll post the date and time once I hear from Charlie.
Our February meeting will be at the vineyard at Otium at Hartley Mauditt. We will be expanding our pruning skills and helping the vineyard with their vine pruning, preparing for this years growth of wine grapes.
