Herbaceous Perennials & Other Topics
West Bergholt Gardeners didn’t meet in January so the first meeting of 2022 on 21st February has speaker Neil Ludmon talking about the “History of the use of Herbaceous Perennials. On 21st March they will be learning of “Current Trends in Garden Design” from Steven Digby.
Their trips out have always been popular so this year they have provisionally booked a self drive visit to Utling Wick in September and coach trips to East Rushton in July and RHS Hyde Hall “Glow” in November. Guests are welcome to join them on these visits.
Further meetings to take place at 7.30 pm in the Orpen Hall will be:
- 25th April – Gardeners Question Time. and
- 16th May – Pruning, When, Where, How?

Open Gardens
This year will also bring the long delayed Open Gardens event on 12th June. The West Bergholt Gardeners in association with the Allotment Holders are looking for gardens in the village for the event. Big or small, formal or wild, all types of gardens will be considered if you would like to be involved. If so, please contact [email protected].
Xmas Fun
Despite the continuing Covid restrictions the Gardeners rounded off 2021 with a Christmas quiz evening which was slightly different from their usual format. However, with social distancing, Prosecco, nibbles, mince pies and gardening themed bingo, it turned out to be a fun evening for the members who attended.
