Beckingham and District Gardeners’ Club members visited a fabulous garden in July. The garden, at Tyne House, Leverton Road, Retford, is owned by Colin Bowler and for garden enthusiasts, it is a garden not to be missed. Not only does it contain magnificent plants, it also has many eye catching Copper Sculptures, all made by Colin. Members would like to say a big thank you to Colin for being such a fantastic host.
The speaker at the meeting on Monday 16th September at 7.30pm will be Sue Smith, speaking on a ‘Hedgehog Odyssey’. Sue has spent many years caring for hedgehogs at 7th Heaven Hedgehog Rescue, from which she has recently retired. Sue will share tips of how gardeners can help hedgehogs, particularly in the winter.
