Katherine is addicted to dahlias. She has been clean for 12 years since she grew 40 dahlias in a field and had no end of fun selling them outside her house opposite Donyatt church. She also grew zinnias, cleome, Euphorbia oblongata and golden rod to bulk out the bunches. She will be bringing bunches of her own favourites. Katharine won BBC BBC Gardener of the Year competition in 1999, BBC Gardener of the Decade in 2008 and  also won a Gold medal at Chelsea Flower Show for designing a display for Kings Seeds 125th anniversary.

Plant Sale

This year’s sale will take place in the Memorial Hall between 10 & 12 on Saturday 17 May. The ladies from Axford Village Hall will be serving tea & cake. If you didn’t collect a potato & bag for the autumn show the last few will be available at the sale.

The May Plant Sale is the Horticultural Society’s main annual fundraising event, where many members top up their plant supplies. The money raised enables the Society to run the full and varied programme of regular gardening events for members – especially the shows and monthly talks – through the year.

The plants sold are donated by members, and a great Sale needs a wide variety of healthy plants. Can you pot up some spare plants from your garden or greenhouse?

 Every single plant you contribute helps our Society thrive . Please do pass on to anyone who think may have some plants to donate to its not just members who contribute.

Donations can be made on Friday evening between 5 & 7 pm at the Memorial Hall Car Park or on Saturday morning before the sale.
