CRESSAGE Gardening Club
Our July meeting (the first since lockdown in March) was a visit to Mynd Hardy Plants in Diddlebury. Twenty
eight members (socially distancing of course) enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine and friendship in the 2 acre
walled garden in the grounds of Delbury Hall. Our Hosts, Richard and Jill, made us feel very welcome and
updated us on the changes they have made since taking over the Walled garden a few years ago. After a
guided tour of the garden, followed by a walk around the parkland surrounding the Hall, everyone was more
than ready for the delicious cakes and refreshments that awaited our return to the Walled Garden. Many a
gardener also went home with a new plant(s) tucked under their arm!
September 17 th Meeting
The Committee is hopeful this meeting will go ahead. Nick Martin, a local photographer, has been invited to
give an illustrated talk on ‘Secrets of the Wildlife Garden’. However, it is likely to be the beginning of
September before this can be confirmed by the Committee due to current Covid restrictions. Members will
be informed nearer the time.
(NB: With Covid 19 restrictions still very much amongst us the meetings planned for September onwards are
still in the balance awaiting Government to give village communities such as ours the green light! This
obviously includes the opening of our village halls albeit that certain restrictions may still apply. However, to
meet possible printing and circulation deadlines for your local village magazine this update is being written in
mid July!)
Cressage Gardening Club normally meets on the 3 rd Thursday monthly (August and December excepted) at
7.30 p.m. in Cressage Village Hall. Membership £10 p.a. and new members always welcome.
Please Contact: Sally Lucas-Garner (Chairperson) on 01694 771271 for more information.
