Visit to Alwoodley Gardens

Friday Forum members had a lovely time admiring the gardens, the sun shone on us for our visit and there was a good turnout.

 

The garden of our member Suzanne included a variety of shade and sun loving plants as well as an auricula theatre! Vistors asked about the Gladioli which is Gladio Byzantus and the Astrantia with is Astrantia Roma.

Kate and David, Suzanne’s neighbours, also very kindly offered to open their garden for us which included a beautiful peony, 'Jan van Leeuwen’ and a magnificent tree fern!

 Peony, 'Jan van Leeuwen’

Suzanne and Kate provided us with delicious cakes and biscuits, and members’ donations of £160.60 were sent to Lineham Farm Charity, which helps disadvantaged children.

Next meeting is 5th July – Friday Forum Summer Show (categories can be seen on blog page for shows).
