Gardening

Leader: Claire Riley

The group usually meets from 10h30 until 12h00 on the last Friday of each month at the Centre de Loisirs, Eymet, except during school holidays. Parking is adjacent to the centre.  There is a modest charge of 1€ to attend each meeting that covers the cost of refreshments.

Plant Swap, May 2024
A big thank you to Linda for hosting the plant swap at the end of May.  Linda’s hard work was evident as the garden looked glorious.

There was a lot of choice of plants so thank you to all those who brought something to swap and to those who brought cakes and biscuits. Sarah did a great job serving refreshments, thank you Sarah.

Harvest Festival – Autumn 2024

Good afternoon everyone

We had fun yesterday at our first meeting of the season.  There was a lovely selection of homemade dishes and this made choosing a winner difficult so a team of volunteer judges were enlisted to choose their favourite.

Belinda Marand’s delicious lemon geranium cake took the top spot, with Cathy and Michelle in hot pursuit with their homemade tomato soup and tasty chutney respectively.

The best pot plant was won by Jean and Derek Wright with their superb Impatiens niamniamensis (or Congo cockatoo).

Lastly, a big thank you to those who brought in plants, vegetables and dishes to taste and also to Tina and Marjorie for serving refreshments.  We must also thank Wendy O’Meara for organising membership cards at the front desk and for being our guest judge.
