GARDENING CLUB: The February meeting took place at Wulstan Hall last Thursday at 7.30pm.

George Featonby chaired the meeting and introduced Mike Smith from the National Trust, who gave a talk about the history and gardens of Croome Park Estate. This was one of the first designs by Capability Brown, who also helped with the design of the present house, so that many of the windows could be placed to get the best views of his landscapes. The next meeting will be on Thursday, March 30 at 7.30pm at Wulstan Hall when the speaker will be Michael Upwood on Alpines Round the World.
