News, workshops, plants Dear Members, Spring is definitely one of my favourite times. There is so much to look forward to, and you’ll find a taster of what’s to come in our current newsletter. We are so excited that Paul Seaborne and his team at Pelham Plants will be celebrating the WFGA at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. After their Gold medal win last year, we know it’s going to be a fantastic display! We’ll also be at Gardener’s World Live at the NEC again this year from 12th to 15th June. Seven of our trainees will be taking part in the Beautiful Borders competition and have been working tirelessly to turn their designs into reality. Please support them and come along and say hello. There are some great articles about past workshops and events. These are a brilliant way to learn new skills or to brush up on old ones, as well as an opportunity to meet other keen gardeners in beautiful settings. Keep an eye on the website for our latest offerings. Lastly, applications for the Christine Ladley Fund are now open for those wishing to develop their horticultural or agricultural careers, whether through training, educational trips or applying for resources. Wishing you all happy gardening,
