Well after a sizzling end to May, naturally the first day of summer is wet and cold! While the garden needed a good watering, let’s hope for low 20s and gentle overnight rain for the rest of June.

Saturday 6th June is the Kilmington Gardening Club visit to RHS Rosemoor. A spectacular garden where the roses will be at their best for our visit. The coach departs from outside the village hall at 9am. See Visits tab above for more details.

On Friday, 12th June, at the Kilmington Gardening Club, the subject of our talk by Sally Nex will be ‘A Rogue’s Gallery for Gardeners (Sustainability)’. This will be packed with practical advice on organic ways of tackling pests and diseases, including ways to prevent them from attacking your plot in the first place. Sally is a very popular speaker and she will be able to give first-hand examples from her own long experience in fighting off the most commonly encountered pests on both ornamental and edible plants.

After Sally’s talk we will be marking the 80th Anniversary of the founding of the club by serving bubbles and a celebratory cake!
