We began our meeting with our A.G.M with a recap of the last year, which has been good, and things look well set for 2025.
Sally Morgan, a published horticultural author, was our speaker at the November meeting of the Gardening Club. Ms. Morgan waited patiently during our A.G.M. and then enthusiastically launched into her presentation on the topic of ‘Gardening for Climate Change’. In future years it could be drier. However, it might well be wetter. There is a very good chance that it will be warmer in winter but this might mean that some fruit trees will not get the cold that they need to ensure good blossom formation and fruit set. Peat really is not the way forward and potting compost can be made from a mixture of molehill loam, leaf mould and home-made garden compost. Her message was presented in a forthright fashion and gave many pointers as to how things are likely to change, and Sally shared some climate friendly actions we can try at home.
