Now summer is in flower and natures hum Is never silent round her sultry bloom - John Clare

 

Presentation by Martin Wright

Although, due to technical difficulties, Martin was not able to deliver the scheduled talk,
he did give us an interesting and informative talk about his career in the plants and parks departments at Leeds City Council and how this led to becoming involved in the garden entries for the Chelsea Flower Show.
Martin gave us a brief introduction to some of the entries produced by Leeds City Council for the show and told us some amusing background stories.
We eagerly look forward to Martin returning next year to tell us more about building a Chelsea garden.
