Our shrub of the week for week 9 is Salvia officinalis, the Common Sage, which has a lot more to offer in the flower border than might be expected.
Here's the handout:

And here are the images, of a surprising number of varieties, at Photobucket, as ever. I'm afraid it won't accept the three we had difficulty with, 'Jade Ice', 'Rosea' and the S.interrupta hybrid. I'll try to find alternates.

Week 9 - Soft Fruit

Our main topic for week 9 is Soft Fruit. Even if you don't have an area of garden to set aside for food production, much soft fruit can be grown ornamentally. So, don't discount it.
Here's the handout:

Next week is our last formal week of term (although we have our extra week scheduled), so if you haven't already filled out the end-of-term paperwork, it will have to be done and handed back to me at the next session.
Next week, week 10, we will all be in our usual places, but for the extra week, week 11, we're doing different things.
The Tuesday group will be in the Learning Centre as usual, and anyone is welcome to come to that meeting.
The Friday morning group won't meet until 11 July, when we will gather at Hugh and Judy's house for a session on surfing the web and for a walk around their lovely garden.
The Friday afternoon group won't meet again until 4 July, when we'll gather at Shirley's house for a session on surfing the web, and a walk around her lovely garden. Don't forget that Shirley's Open Garden is on 20 July, so she might well appreciate the odd extra plant to sell.
