Anyone far enough south might like to visit me for my NGS opening on May 25th. I'd be delighted to see you in the flesh!

[Lesley Cox]

So there will be some pictures posted from all these open gardens? Please?

[Susan Band]

We will have to rely on the visitors. Too busy serving up tea and CAKES. I noticed mum stacking some away in the freezer for the hungry hoards.
I am hoping to get to some of the Saturday opening ones, so hopefully I will remember my camera.

I managed to get a few photos in some of Saturdays visits.
Stewart Pawley - seed exchange manager- a mainly woodland garden specializing in Primulas
Hilary and Jim Young - Perth group members- A steep garden with quarry overlooking Perth with massive Raoulia in front garden

[Susan Band]

Margaret and Henry Taylor's garden-Stalwarts of the club- A beautifully laid out garden, small but so well proportioned it seems big.
Fred Hunt - showman extraordinaire- Garden packed with prize specimens.
We also visited Janet and Jim's garden which was packed with great things including a lovely form of Ariseama flavum - didn't take any photos, too exhausted by then.

Nice to see you back Maggi, we have missed you

[Maggi Young]

Thanks, Brian... just hauled carcass out of bed for a while to check emails and found Cathy Caudwell's note of these gardens to post!  Still too wobbly to contemplate even a walk round my own garden at present.......such a nuisance! Hope that those of you with good weather are enjoying the summer!

[Tony Willis]
