Also some of the members are really new to gardening (like me) and don't have much going yet and then get pointers from more experienced gardeners.

I will say it is a good excuse to get out in the garden to clean it up - I wish I had mine months ago now (hubby has been working hard getting a concrete edge down and some mulch spread so it looks good for the meeting lol)

Unfortunately I have booked Anthony to come and give a talk at mine and it is already planned otherwise I would have had it on a Saturday. I am thinking about an excursion in a couple of months so will see if I can get that on a Saturday anyway so you can have a chance to meet everyone.
