Hello Everyone!!! If you already like, or are interested in finding out about, GARDENING and/ or HORTICULTURE then this just may be of real interest. Mary is from ROSECARPE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY and has asked for the following to be posted.....
'Rosecarpe has been a gardening club for over 80 years. It used to have flower shows twice a year but that has now stopped because people don't appear to have interest is such shows anymore. I joined to get ideas about planning my garden. There was a real wealth of knowledge within the group and everyone shared their knowledge and ideas. Over the years we've had many speakers who have given fascinating talks on a wide range of gardening topics. In recent years we've had speakers giving talks on such issues as allotments, garden design, classic gardens, local horticultural history, the environmental importance of gardens and many more. We've also arranged trips for our group to visit charity gardens across the North-East. Everyone has become friends for life and our meetings are a highlight for everyone. Unfortunately all of those presently in Rosecarpe are, as they say, 'getting on a bit' as we have struggled to attract new, younger members to join. As a result our membership has dropped considerably in the last year. Sad but true. To keep Rosecarpe Horticultural Society going we are hoping that there are some younger folks out there who share our passion for everything 'gardening' who might be interested in joining us. We meet at BARLEY MOW VILLAGE HALL on the first Monday of each month so I am letting everyone know that our next meeting is 1.00pm - 3.00pm on MONDAY 1ST JUNE. And, at this meeting, we have a very IMPORTANT SURPRISE GUEST! If you are interested in the world of gardening, and anything/ everything related, then please feel free to come along. We would love to see you'.
Please feel free to share this with anyone you think might be interested. Mary, and everyone else in Rosecarpe, would sincerely appreciate it if you would kindly help them by letting as many others know as possible.
