To all my friends at Clophill & District Flower Club - April 2025 NewsletterI hope you had a lovely Easter and enjoyed the sunshine – until Easter Monday!! I always think this is an exciting time in the garden as everything is coming to life and you notice things you had forgotten about and plan for more things to come. Our last meeting 3rd April when we had Arnaud Metairie was a really super evening. He is such a talented designer and is also very entertaining. There was lots of praise for him and I am sure Joan will put him on the list to book again. Next week on 1st May is our Open Meeting with a special demonstration ‘ A Splash of Colour’ by Emily Broomhead from Salisbury. This will also be a super evening. There are still tickets available - £6 for members and £12 for visitors. Please contact Gillian Hill if you need a ticket or one for a friend. The Charity table theme is Lotions, Creams and Cosmetics. 10th May is the Clophill Church and Village Fete and we always have a plant stall to support our charity fund. We would like to have donations of plants, seedlings, cutting or anything for the garden you can spare. You can bring them to the Club, take them to a Committee Member or bring them on the day to St Mary’s Church. Thank you. Area Member’s Day is on 29th April at the Marford Memorial Hall, Wheathampstead when the speaker in the morning is Simone Squire and the National Demonstrator is Alison Penno with ‘Floral Idols’. There will be a buffet lunch and tickets are £25. This should be an excellent day and the venue is easy to get to and the parking is good.
