Harvest Forum

This year our theme for Harvest Forum was British Fruit and the photos illustrate the range of produce, mainly grown by our members.  We had a very enjoyable tasting session.

Judith's Apple and Tarragon cake

Jenny's Damson Jelly 

Display Table

It seems some of our members have plenty of late season colour and variety in their gardens:

 Judith’s jug contains Dahlia Blue by you, and an attractive anemone centred one, Tithonia which if deadheaded goes on forever, Ricinus, Salvia Amistad and Phytolacca

Kate's arrangement consists mainly of cut and come again flowers:  Hemerocallis stella d’oro, Geranium Ann Folkard, Astrantia Buckland, Rose Lady of Shalott, Veronica Eveline, Knautia, Periscaria  orange field, Sedum and Callicarpa

 Gill’s pot of the late flowering Saxigraga fortunei Gokk

 Gill’s vase with Hydrangea, Michaelmas Daisies, and Clematis

  Maggie asked for identification of this plant

 This pot of Aeonium was looking for a new home and Mary kindly split it up so many members could benefit from it

Ann brought from her garden:  Persicaria Fat Domino, JS Caliente and Golden Arrow, Aster frikiartii Jungfrau, Aster novi belgi Barbados, Aconitum carmichaeli and Spatlase, Salvia Sebastian and Silkies Dream, Nerine bowdenii, Hesperantha coccinea, and Penstemon

 Ann's  Crocus speciosus
