What an informative and fun session hosted by our very own John (Titchmarsh) Drywood.
20 people at the meeting today. 16 people wanted to attend the session with John, which was more than we anticipated, so 2 of the volunteers stayed out, leaving 6 people in the other room to enjoy a cuppa and a natter. John shared Tips and suggestions with an enthusiastic group. Everyone came away with a freshly planted bulb, we will have to wait for spring to see the results.
It's fair to say "A good time was had by all".
