Hort Soc Talk in London Tonight

[hub2dee]

Hi all,

I'm a member of the Hampstead Garden Suburb Horticultural Society, and wanted to let you know there is a talk on tonight which may be of interest to anyone in North London who is passionate about their gardens !

Marney Hall - wildlife and wildflower conservation expert, and unbelievably good garden designer (remember the Quarryman's butterfly garden at Chelsea a few years ago ?) is giving an illustrated talk "Going for Gold" - the building of a Chelsea garden.

7:30 at Fellowship House,
136a Willifield Way
London NW11 6YD

Parking is free, and if you want to say hi, I'll be introducing her .

Our society is hoping to submit a small garden for 2006, and a larger one for the centenary of our area the year after.... for my sins I'm part of the design team.

Just to clarify that 'tonight' is indeed Tuesday 22nd March 2005.

Marney Hall was an amazing speaker.

She has about 6 Chelsea golds under her belt.

If any of you enjoy the Chelsea Flower Show, you would have loved her presentation. She did my favourite garden ever - the Quarryman's butterfly garden in 1998, and showed slides about its construction and detailed planting info. So inspirational.

pixiefish and piffle will have to watch this space and see if I end up taking a Chelsea gold in a few years
