talked about creating an inspirational garden over 25 years and we
learnt tips for choosing, growing and pruning plants with
illustrations from his own garden. The garden is sited near an old
quarry and it was a herculean task to improve the poor soil. His
garden has featured on Anglian TV and it was awarded The Yorkshire
Life Garden of the Year. Some of his ideas were from the Heath
Robinson school of thought and we were given a plant list of what he
includes in his garden, which has weakened one of my new year
resolutions by increasing my “plants to buy” list by 500%!</span></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The snow and ice
prevented members from bringing in items for the table, except for
Judith who brought in three Coleus plants from her house. She raised
these colourful plants, which root easily in water, from Coleus
entered in the last Paxton show.</span></p>

his passion for plants, Ben told us about the challenges they had to
overcome, Ben shared his future plans with us and we have no doubt
that this enthusiastic couple will achieve their goals such as makin</span>g
a show garden of all the plants available in the nursery, a woodland
walk and taking on an apprentice, just to name a few. Ben told us
that one thing is certain, Cliff Bank will never become a garden
centre but remain a plant nursery. </span></span>

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Judith spoke about
her love for Dahlias for their form and colour. Her preference is
the Bishop series rather than the pompom shapes. Originating from
South America, a friend of the Bishop of Llandaff brought the flower
over in the 1920s and named it after the Bishop. Since then, there
are many different “Bishops” including the Children.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ZorOO7aF6bLGK73OTHlZZaG1_Rl2LuYqPZYfENQIf6MSXDy7NH6ApykrfP5_Revu4bS4cUbnFgXAvY1H_bIMK5-eStS_Pq9aPNQu_clsCOBmnwIXn2WxTeOKBFOzGrDM8SNuEZA0LUQiIBkynBIB3_KxZwiw-y1c721e8O2eszHzDZG89SnKFODTJmgX/s4000/P1100196.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ZorOO7aF6bLGK73OTHlZZaG1_Rl2LuYqPZYfENQIf6MSXDy7NH6ApykrfP5_Revu4bS4cUbnFgXAvY1H_bIMK5-eStS_Pq9aPNQu_clsCOBmnwIXn2WxTeOKBFOzGrDM8SNuEZA0LUQiIBkynBIB3_KxZwiw-y1c721e8O2eszHzDZG89SnKFODTJmgX/s320/P1100196.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium", sans-serif; text-align: left;">Judith’s Dahlias: The orange </span><i style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium", sans-serif; text-align: left;">Flaxton</i><span style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium", sans-serif; text-align: left;">, the red Murdoch, the purple Bluetiful and the single yellow </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsgkzpbW0Doi0zRJK2fyjsLLMRsxMWmnRPd8ZReChhCp_UVdTKzjBJoP43qhM4dt-I1oR-lJ55xHqsmAHllPrFcrPCE8Md9EAI0lPSD4SMBaWFIs8qJDObXHhL6wjStna_fcQ33ntZj4MCChACX3FOReN40nEr6dCNNcEDJ_U3tTyHQKmvBfrSlh--seAJ/s4000/P1100197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsgkzpbW0Doi0zRJK2fyjsLLMRsxMWmnRPd8ZReChhCp_UVdTKzjBJoP43qhM4dt-I1oR-lJ55xHqsmAHllPrFcrPCE8Md9EAI0lPSD4SMBaWFIs8qJDObXHhL6wjStna_fcQ33ntZj4MCChACX3FOReN40nEr6dCNNcEDJ_U3tTyHQKmvBfrSlh--seAJ/s320/P1100197.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />

<p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">From the discussion,
we heard that some members had successfully sown Dahlias from seed,
how some wrapped the tubers in newspaper until March and some
bemoaned the attraction of slugs and snails so they grew them in
pots. Valley Gardens in Harrogate and Golden Acre Park have a range
of Dahlias well worth a visit.</span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Suzanne led the
discussion about plants that do well in our gardens in the extremes
of weather we have been experiencing. She had recently visited Beth
Chatto’s gravel garden which was started in 1990 and is never
watered. A rainfall table showed that while July 2022 had zero
rainfall, 2023 was the wettest on record. Here are found
Mediterranean plants including Thymes, Lavender, tall Verbascum
bombyciferum, Yucca, Eryngium, Stipa gigantea, Sedum telephium all
growing happily.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Members agreed that
this year, only the pots needed watering regularly. Others had
noticed some plants flowering later and others earlier than usual
with Agapanthus doing especially well.</span></p>

<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Hilary has given many
interesting and well-researched presentations to Friday Forum on a
wide range of subjects. This fascinating talk covered the science of
how we humans see colour and how insects, birds and mammals see
colour. Whereas for humans the colour red stands out, for bees it is
purple and wasps like reddy browns. This is important for
pollination. Who knew that ladybirds and lily beetles are red to
alert predators to leave them alone? Many plants have splashes of
ultra violet which can be seen by the insects but not by humans.
These facts and much more were explained and illustrated by Hilary. </span>

<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With
a background of studying art and working in a garden centre, Suzie
started growing her own flowers first in a walled garden in Thirsk
before taking on a much larger hayfield in Kilburn. Passionate about
flowers and reducing carbon footprints, Suzie took us through the
process of growing and tending her flowers which are then made into
arrangements for weddings and events. Suzie will only use the
flowers in season and has now diversified into flower arranging
workshops and supplying well rooted plug plants. We were all
interested in how her business developed through perseverance and
hard work, especially as she has only used the media to publicise her
services.</span></span></p>

After researching the best places to visit, Michael told us about his journeys since 1990s to view the alpine horticulture. We learnt about the wild flower meadows of Slovenia and the Trenta botanic gardens in the Alps on the Austrian border. We heard about the bears in Romania, which only the communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu, was allowed to hunt. We saw the fabulous palaces built after his regime, the flora of the Maritime Alps and the two week Prague Alpine Show. It was interesting to see some rare plants and where some more common plants originated such as saxifrage, Leopard’s Mane, Pulsatilla and Hepatica, to name but a few. </span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Display Table</b> </span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM6YbK7karA0u3rTZsapkmwVWlfXIgLnAAWvEvIa_bilF9caZ63jUJlCLYTAsnGuAg1TSYU_hSzhIjJUMhdZvwrxxCqvdS_3GrKCdUO-W0dZnswM7FUjI4AIAlnhzg30-jw89Y31QcYPKh4xG7UjfFdp90reehTkp1rcgIA60C_MBWHSKi-owPdG3Y_w/s4608/20230217_132846.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="2592" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM6YbK7karA0u3rTZsapkmwVWlfXIgLnAAWvEvIa_bilF9caZ63jUJlCLYTAsnGuAg1TSYU_hSzhIjJUMhdZvwrxxCqvdS_3GrKCdUO-W0dZnswM7FUjI4AIAlnhzg30-jw89Y31QcYPKh4xG7UjfFdp90reehTkp1rcgIA60C_MBWHSKi-owPdG3Y_w/s320/20230217_132846.jpg" width="180" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">In Suzanne’s vase are plants that grow in the same bed in her garden.

<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;"><b>Discussion</b></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Judith hosted a
lively discussion on gardens and plants from our childhoods. The
memories went back to WW2 and included bomb shelters in the back
garden and digging for victory, usually rhubarb and potatoes.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Judith remembered
Galega (Goats Rue), carnations,, lupins and daisies, picking
bluebells, visiting a relative’s allotment where gladioli were
grown and sending off for seed catalogues.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;">Margaret H told us
about her father tickling the tomatoes in the greenhouse with a
rabbit’s tail. Her grandma grew the Rose <i>Cecile Brunner </i><span style="font-style: normal;">which
</span><span style="font-style: normal;">Margaret </span><span style="font-style: normal;">still
has in her garden and has passed on to her daughter.</span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Peter’s
family gardened on limestone in Eyam, Derbyshire, reknowned for self
isolating to prevent the spread of the plague. Perhaps that’s why
he had a resident ghost which passed their garden! His garden also
housed cages of budgerigars and canaries.</span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium", sans-serif;">Many members recalled
the flowers of their childhood: Cornflowers, London Pride, Sweet
Peas, Dahlias, Sunflowers and Golden Rod. Remembered also were the making daisy chains, testing whether we liked butter with a buttercup
under the chin, making perfume from rose petals and the trend for the
regimented planting out of bedding plants such as Marigolds, Alyssum
