The Garden in Summer

Next Meeting: Wednesday 17th July

We have had some lovely days (yes, and some not so good ones) and summer really does feel as though it has arrived. Timely then, that our guest speaker, from The Gold Club - they are always good - has the topic "The Garden in Summer"
The meeting will be at Drimpton Village Hall, Wednesday 17th July, 7:15 for 7:30 pm. All welcome!

Summer Show - On Saturday 10th August

What could be more fitting to follow that, than the Summer Show - On Saturday 10th August. The Show opens to the public at 2:15, and that's the day lots of people join the Garden Club - you'd be most welcome too.
If you think you may like to enter the show, hopefully you will have had a Schedule, with an entry form on the back. If not, don't worry, there is a copy here and there is also a link to that from the village website, under Groups and Clubs. Whatever your interest, in the garden, the kitchen, workshop or behind the lens, there should be an entry class to suit you - and the prize money has been increased this year!

Outing to Corton Denham House gardens

On Monday 17th, on a day when the sun at least attempted to come out, we enjoyed a trip out to be given a tour of the gardens at Corton Denham House, in the beautiful border land between Dorset and Somerset.

Plant Combinations and Associations

Our guest speaker, Philip Gamble, will guide us through partnering colours and finding good foliage matches, even the veggie gardeners amongst us should find this interesting!

On his website, Philip describes the talk as: "An adventure in taste. Ideas & examples to help develop your options & increase your excitement for plant grouping. More than just colour."
