GARDENERS in Finchampstead will start digging into their subject again in January.
California Gardeners’ Club has prepared a full schedule of talks and events for 2025, with their new season of meetings kicking off in January.
In the first week of the new year David Bailey will be talking about Wildlife Wandering.
As the year progresses members will also hear about gardens of Russia, how not to kill container plants, bees, peat free compost, plants and booze, autumn flowering perennials, wine grapes, and about the history of the club.
Exhibitions of produce, and social gatherings can also be enjoyed throughout 2025.
The group meets at The Ratepayers’ Hall on the first Monday of every month.
To hear David’s talk at the year’s first meeting, people should make their way to The Ratepayers’ Hall, Finchampstead, on Monday, January 6.
Doors open at 8pm, and visitors are welcome.
Entry costs just £2, or £7 for the whole year.
