Practical Gardening

On 4th April the Practical Gardening group happily took up Bill and Margaret (Ashton’s) kind offer to revisit their beautiful garden in Blundellsands. As always we were made very very welcome and all enjoyed seeing the garden in the Spring and comparing this to last Summer when we previoulsy visited.  The garden is beautifully planted and maintained – we all marvelled at Bill’s lawn edges (and lots of other things)  which are all sharp and ‘clean.’ The photos speak for themselves – but in the flesh the garden is even more gorgeous than the pictures suggest.  Thank you Bill and Margaret again from us all.

Technology and Science

Last Wednesday Edna Harrison gave an excellent presentation on microbiology, with a fascinating look at the history and the folk behind the advances in the science.  She included her background, with some anecdotes to lighten the topic. Well done Edna.
