3Hs Gardening Club – Tuesday 10 October

It’s “Pumpkin Time” again! At the next 3Hs Gardening Club meeting on Tuesday 10th October at 7.30pm members are invited to bring their entries along for the coveted ‘Pumpkin Cup’. 

Mike Patching says ‘Last years winners told me a while ago that their cunning plan to raise a winner from the seeds of last years prize specimen, failed dismally as they all failed to germinate, but I suspect there’s been a high degree of ‘Sand Bagging’ going on there and in several other quarters with reports of giant specimens in various places round the villages.  No matter how big or otherwise your pumpkin may be just bring it along, make it a fun evening.  If anyone thinks they may need a wheelbarrow at the pavilion  just let me know.’

The speaker will be Howard Drury DHE (Hons) the well known broadcaster, presenter and lecturer, who among his many tasks has been a member of the BBC Gardeners’ Question time panel. Howard has been asked to speak on day to day gardening that members might find useful. Howard has spoken at the Three H’s before and is always a popular speaker.

Non-members are welcome to come along to enjoy the evening – there will just be a small charge that could be offset against membership costs should they decide to join.

ALSO – as usual there will be a bring and buy so bring any plants, bulbs or paraphernalia you have laying about and which might be of use to other members.’
