Re: Things To Do
How about a plant swap meeting?
Many keep gardeners have set seeds and end up with surplus young plants, so bring them along and swap for something else 'surplus' from another gardener.
Perhaps some have surplus cuttings too, so could bring them along to swap too?
How about a talk on houseplants for a change from garden plants too? And what about helping garden wildlife?
Seasonal themes would be interesting, and also very helpful.
Things like growing from seed and propogation at the spring meetings.
Followed in the summer by flowers for cutting, diseases and insects.
Then in autumn, talks on how to over-winter plants, using fleece, bubble wrap, etc
You could include autumn bulb planting too.
Last but not least Eccles, your friend could also ask the members themselves for suggestions for what they would like at meetings.
Hope these ideas are of some help.
