Lymm Gardening ClubNewsClematis Named After Us Lymm Gardening Club’s speaker on 19 April was the clematis enthusiast Ken Black. During his enlightening talk, he brought out a beautifully subtle white and lime green clematis which, he said, he’d propagated as a new plant.To his delight it had flowered for the first time on the day he came to speak to us. Ken proposed to call this brand new clematis ‘Lymm Gardening Club’ in our honour. And an honour it certainly is. He is going to register it with The British Clematis Society and hopes to be able to provide us with a plant of our own. Here is Ken with Caroline Henderson, our Chair, and ‘Lymm Gardening Club’, a large flowered hybrid clematis.  Ken’s website is kenblackclematis.com and is full of useful information on growing clematis. Village Hall GardenAs a garden club we look after the garden outside the village hall on Pepper Street. Alison Precious does a wonderful job of organising this and we ask members to volunteer to look after the garden for two week slots throughout most of the year. We also have an area which is planted up by Caroline Henderson with herbs and vegetables which is a community area and anyone passing is welcome to help themselves to the produce.
We are very pleased that in 2022 Lymm Village was awarded a gold medal for the 'Lymm in Bloom' competition. A big thank you to all those who helped look after the garden. Charity Plant SaleThis year's plant sale took place an Saturday 13th May.  Our Plant Sale in 2023 raised £1613.48 for the following charities:- A big thank you to everyone who donated plants, bought plants or helped in any way. General News and Events Dear Members and Friends, Lane End Cottage Gardens, on Old Cherry Lane at the south end of Cherry Lane near the roundabout, are currently opening over the second weekend of the month, so they will be open next weekend, on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 June. Refreshments will be available and there will be plants for sale, in part to raise money for the Warrington food bank. Lymm Open Gardens will, as usual, be taking place on the last Sunday of the Lymm Festival. On Sunday 2 July, from 12.30 pm onwards, a number of gardens in and around the village will be opening for visitors, many of them also serving light refreshments.
A number of other towns and villages in Cheshire have their own open garden events coming up, including three not too far from us which will be taking place during June.
The next two Plant Hunters Fairs are being held outside Cheshire, in Shropshire and Staffordshire respectively, but it might be worth making the journey as they are both taking place in impressive gardens. Back to topWelcome | Programme | Trips | Local Events | News| Contacts | Links |
