On 23^rd June, as part of the ‘Beltinge Garden Trail’, several of our members opened their gardens to the public.  This was a Beltinge Memorial Hall fundraising event for a new hall roof.  The weather was perfect, the gardens were beautiful, and the villagers turned out in their numbers to support us.  A truly wonderful day, and a very big thank you to our members for all their efforts.

At our July meeting, as well as a very interesting guest speaker who gave a wonderful talk on Beekeeping, we had the climax of our annual plug plant competition.  Karen, from Sunflowers Floristry in Beltinge, came along to judge this year’s fuchsia plants.  And the winner was …. (drum roll) …. Mary Cook.  Well done Mary

Our recent Plant Sale was an outstanding success, and we must thank our members for supplying a large variety of plants, baking and bric-a-brac items for sale.  We must also thank the general public for coming out in good numbers and ensuring that the day was a success.  We had a queue outside at 9am which hasn’t happened for a few years, so a really big thank you to everyone involved.
