IDHS newsletter May 2022

Firstly thank you to all of you who supported our plant sale either by selling produce, helping out on the day and coming to buy the wonderful plants and bric-a-brac. We raised just over £400, perhaps not as much as some years but a really good effort after two years of lockdown.

Our next meeting is this Thursday when we welcome back Dave Ewers for part 2 of his Woodcraft Demonstrations and Talk. Part 1 back in 2019 was very well recieved so we should be in for a great evening.
We will have the usual raffle, members competition and seed swap.
Refreshments are being done by Chris Withey and Vicky Coral.

Don’t forget to sign up for our next garden visit to Durmast House in Burley on Thursday 16th June at 2pm. The cost is £10 which includes a guided tour and cream tea.

It is time to pick up your free ticket for our evening with our Celebrity Speaker, Andrew McIndoe, on Thursday 28th July when he will talk about The Creative Shrub Garden. Entry will be by ticket only - free to members and £5 for guests so please get tickets for friends, neighbours and family and don’t forget your member ticket!

You will also be able to sign up for our coach trip to the Chelsea Physic Garden on Thursday September 15th. The cost is £30 which includes the return coach to London, entry to the Gardens and a guided tour. We have 53 places so please bring friends and family.

We have been asked if we have any members interested in being part of a team judging three allotment sites in Ringwood. This will be end of June, early July. If anyone is interested please contact Sally on sally.bonynge@sky.com  or 01425 473082 for more information.

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday

Your Committee
