Hardy Plant Society - Grand Plant Sale!

Continuing our gardening theme of late, the North East Group of the Hardy Plant Society is holding its 1st Plant Sale on Saturday 19th May between 10.30 and 12.30 at Stannington Village Hall near Morpeth. All of the plants for sale have been grown by members of the group and are good quality and reasonably priced. Entry is £1, free for Hardy Plant Society members and children.

They will also be holding a raffle with the prize being a tour of the garden of our chairperson, Heather Russell, followed by tea and scones. Heather's garden is well known in the area and you may have recently seen her featured on BBC Gardener's World in March 2012.

Please visit their web pages for more information at http://www.hardy-plant.org.uk/groups/northeast
