As we move from late Spring into early Summer Chelsea Flower Show is upon us again to inspire us to get out into those borders. Our June meeting sees Nick Dobson specialising on Dahlias and how we have been growing these flowers for years in the UK. As a Horticultural Society we are members of the National Dahlia Society and there are both open and closed classes to enter the Marlow Flower Show on 29th August. Why not enter a Dahlia class and learn from Nick Dobson how to grow prize winning blooms
We will soon be enjoying the benefits of the warmer days without the risk of frosts and plants and seeds will be in full growth for the 2026 season ahead.
The Annual Flower Show will be held on Saturday 29th August to be held once again in Liston Hall.
Our garden visit this year was held on Saturday 25th April to the Wisley Royal Horticultural Society Garden. This was well supported and 35 members and friends enjoyed the day visiting the gardens.
We are now well into our exciting speaker programme for 2026 and we look forward to meeting you when you come along to our next event.
