Lymm Gardening Club

Welcome

Thank you for visiting our site, we hope you find it helpful and look forward to seeing you at one of our meetings.

We are a friendly group with a common interest in gardening. We meet each month and our talks are varied with a wide range of excellent speakers, on all aspects of gardening.

Members also have the opportunity to join zoom meetings at various times in the year and listen to speakers from other parts of the country.

We have a sales table which sells various gardening sundries and often plants. As well as speakers we also have trips and visits to gardens through the summer months, a large plant sale for charity and an annual meal.

Members recieve discounts at some local nurseries and garden centres (see bottom of this page for details.)

We also have an RHS card which can be borrowed by members - please enquire at any meeting.

'A Stroll Through The Seasons'

by Ruth Plant.

Ruth Plant has owned a cottage garden in Staffordshire for the last 15 years.
She has the Plant Heritage National Collection status for Diarama.

The Following Meeting is on November 20th 2024

'Structure in the Garden, Trees Shrubs and Hedges'

by Gordon Malt.

Gordon trained at Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh and has 45 years’ experience in Horticulture and Arboriculture.

Structure is a key element in any garden, however wild or formal the design. How each part relates to the other, through features, vistas, or in the use of creative planting, gives a garden its own character. Getting it right can be tricky. For all those who've craved a little guidance, this could be the talk for you.

In his own half acre garden, near Shifnal, which he and his wife open for charity, Gordon manages to combine his love of growing vegetables with flowing flower borders, one streaming seamlessly into the other. He describes his own style as 'controlled relaxation'.

As a finalist in the 2015 Daily Mail National Garden Competition Gordon is well placed to share his gardening and design knowhow.
