The VPA had a lovely trip to Pam Lewis’s garden, great weather and beautiful gardens and lunch! Our next little jaunt is on Wednesday 7th July, to Clematis Corner in Shillingford, to book, please ring Eileen on 510095. We are meeting at Blewbury Village hall at 7pm, car sharing will be organised there if necessary.
It has been such a hectic year so far, dogs, kids, dandelions, guide camp etc that I completely forgot to mention the Annual Summer Show, this will be held on Saturday 31st July, the schedules are available from the Post Office in Blewbury, or on my front porch, (Tadcombe, Besselslea); Please pick one up if you would like to enter the show, entry forms need to be back to me by Weds 28th 10pm, email karencbrooks@googlemail.com or pop them into the Post Office, Blewbury or to Maggie in Upton. Then simply bring your entries to the village hall between 8.30 and 11am on the Saturday, and come back at 2.30pm when the show opens to the public, to see if you have won!!
If you can’t be bothered to enter, then just come along at 2.30pm, to see who has scooped all the prizes, and who will be winning the coveted silver cups! We will be serving teas and homemade cakes, a tombola and raffle, and at 4.30pm, we will auction off some of the prize-winning entries!
If you need more info, then ring me (Show Secretary) on 850219, and I will try to help you! I will be fighting off the pigeons who are trying to eat the cherries off the tree, and waging war on anything that may dare to eat or destroy my roses!! Maybe I should train the dog to guard them?!
The talk for the September meeting is on the 1st, Vale Room, Blewbury, when R & J Nickless will be giving a “Bee Demonstration”. Are they making cakes? Making them dance? I think we should know?!
Happy Gardening
