Milford Gardeners' Club celebrated its 20th anniversary
last year and now in its 3rd decade is as active as it has ever been.
Sue
Crabb, a long established member and since 2006 committee member, took over from
Jen Spenser as Chair at the February AGM.
Jenny who began the Club in 1997 with Jan England and had led the Club for 17 of
these years is now intending a move to Hordle and to have some free time to
garden and travel.
Sue who lives in the village, will be a new and welcome face
to take the Club forward.
There is an interesting programme for year, meeting
at 7pm on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. In May there is a demo and talk
about the perfume of plants and their essential oils, given by John Baker (of
Hosta fame) & his scientist wife. In June we will be hearing about the
Roses of Mottisfont Abbey Gardens.
The first event for the Club though is the
annual Plant Fair on Saturday 19 May held on the Village Green. It starts at
8.30am to 1.30pm and should mostly be over before
the Royal Wedding! Refreshments will be served by the Girl Guides and the
proceeds of the day will go to local charities - Oakhaven Hospice and Milford
Conservation Volunteers.
