National Trust talk about Christmas
trees and festive gardening
Gardening at Christmas will be the theme for
a National Trust talk in South Woodford on
12 December. “The festive season is usually
regarded as a horticultural hiatus. But in this
illustrated talk, we’ll see Christmas offers much
to the gardener. We’ll look at colourful plants
that brighten both indoors and outdoors, and
study the most beloved Yuletide plant: the
Christmas tree. Lavishly sprinkled with bad
jokes!” said Nick Dobson, whose presentation
will take place at the Woodford Memorial Hall
from 10.30am (visitors: £3). Call 07774 164 407

the Woodford Green charity, raising £1,288.
“Thanks to all who continue to support us. If
you would like to order a cake, please get in
touch by 3 December. The suggested donation
is £20 for a plain cake or £25 for an iced cake,”
