Hardy's lecture - 18th September

Guess who hadn't been to Hardy's before?!

Another lovely late summer morning, another clubbers' outing - to Hardy's nursery for a talk on autumn flowering perennials.  

The temperature in the barn was about 10 degrees lower than outside, but Rosy's garden chat is so compelling that we sat scribbling feverishly on our plant lists for 90 minutes.  There seemed to be more people than usual, and a few of them had plenty to say.  Claire and I are to be congratulated on keeping our giggles contained at the mention of Erigeron karvinski-anus (good for growing in cracks?).

Despite Greg's 'recorded message' on Corinne's phone "This is a message from Hardy's Nursery.  The biscuits have now been finished.  Please proceed directly to the lecture theatre", the chocolate biscuits at half time were plentiful and as excellent as ever. 

Next time, let's make time to have lunch in the Watership Down pub at the end of the road.  Rabbit stew anyone?
