IN July, members enjoyed an evening visit to Woodpeckers, the beautiful Marlcliff garden of Dr and Mrs Cox.

Members were welcomed by the owners, who garden the lovely two- and-a-half acre riverside site entirely unaided.

The garden looked wonderful, with herbaceous borders and some unusual specimen trees.

At the meeting on Thursday, August 7, there will be a talk by Rob and Diane Coles on growing perennials from seed.

Members and guests are welcome at the Jubilee Court Centre, St Faiths Road, at 7.30pm. Guests £2 and refreshments included. More details on 01789 765105.
