IN THE NOT-S0-BLEAK MIDWINTER – making your garden interesting in the winter

Thursday 6th.November at 10.30am. on Zoom

If you have not heard a talk by Timothy Walker before, do not miss this opportunity. He is a very good speaker, has a wide knowledge of horticulture and a fund of great stories. After becoming director of Oxford Botanic Garden he then moved on to become lecturer in Plant Sciences at Somerville College, Oxford.

Gardening books speak of putting the garden to bed for the winter. While many plants become dormant during this cold, wet and dark time of year, some are providing fruit for the birds and other animals and while others are flowering. Winter may not be the traditional season of big borders and drifts of different blooms but has plenty to offer the gardener. This talk looks at the opportunities for bringing winter interest to your garden.
