CRESSAGE<br />
In late May members and guests spent a very enjoyable evening at Ruthall Manor Ditton Priors by the kind<br />
invitation of Mr and Mrs Clarke. It was a beautiful sunny evening and everyone enjoyed wandering around<br />
the various small individual gardens, interlinked by paths and grassed areas all leading to the old horse-pond<br />
surrounded by striking irises and other water loving plants. Gerald and Lynda Clarke have created a beautiful<br />
garden over many years (Lynda herself has planted every single tree in the 50+ years she has lived at Ruthall<br />
Manor) and was more than happy to answer questions showing not only her exceptional horticultural<br />
knowledge but her joy in being able to pass it on to her guests. Ruthall Manor can be found on the NGS site<br />
with photographs, directions and days of opening throughout the spring and summer. The evening ended in<br />
the traditional way with refreshments and a vote of thanks to Mr and Mrs Clarke for hosting such a splendid<br />
evening at their home.<br />
