Our November meeting was well attended and Linda Wilson, one of our members, talked to us about gardening in raised beds. She gave a fascinating account of all stages of the process, from construction right through to the harvest of produce. The talk was accompanied by a power point presentation showing photographs of her own garden and many tips on managing raised beds.
I think we all learned a lot and Linda was very able to answer our many questions. The fact that her method of managing the beds means that she doesn’t need to dig (the worms do that for you) was very encouraging!
Our grateful thanks to Linda for providing such a well presented talk and sharing her passion for this type of gardening with us. I am sure that there will be many more raised beds in Broadhembury and district in the future.
The next meeting is 7.30pm, Wednesday 6th Dec in Broadhembury Memorial Hall
Instead of the ‘Quiz and Social’, we have organised a buffet supper with mulled wine, followed by entertainment with a tenuous link to gardening! The buffet and wine will be free to members. Visitors will be most welcome, but at a cost of £10.00 to cover the cost of the buffet and wine.
