Up Coming Events

I'm working on my events for 2019 and a full list will appear soon.

In spring I'll be launching FLOWER CLUB at Creartii in Belper.
This will be a gardening club with a difference. 
We will meet every week or fortnightly to chat and share stories, questions ands successes from our gardens.  There will be a gardeners Q&A, a featured plant of the week and maybe even a brief workshop.  We might even visit each others garden and help each other out with a bit of gardening!  I'm still formulating my plans but how the sessions go will be led by you.  I envisage each session to cost in the region of £10.  
If this appeals to you, please register your interest and I'll be in touch early in the new year.
