News, workshops, plants Dear Members, Spring is always an exciting time, with so much to do in the garden and so much to look forward to. We have some fantastic events coming up at wonderful gardens, including Propagation workshops in East Sussex and Newcastle upon Tyne and a Kitchen Garden Skills Day at Hampton Court. We’re also increasing our online courses and along with the ever popular, Plant Classification workshop and Self-Employed Gardeners: How to Grow and Develop your Business, we now have some great Garden Design courses. This year we’ll be holding our AGM on 18th May. This will be an online event and is open to all our members. Please find more details on the website. Welcome to our new gardens! We really value the support of all our gardens and the work they do supporting WRAGs. I’m delighted that so many of you have decided to take on a trainee and to pass on your skills and knowledge. It is always a pleasure to hear about the progress a trainee is making and the value they add to a garden with their enthusiasm and passion. Best wishes Sue Reed, Chair
