It's our first week, and we don't have a plant of the week for this week because group members are volunteering to do those each week! Well done everyone!
Our main topic is The Garden in September and October, but before we get there, we have one or two other things.
Sites of the Week
Each week, for those members who have access to the internet, I'll offer up some sites for you. Here is this week's selection:
( Sites of the Week )
Then we had a look at some pictures. Most of them are of plants that some of us saw at Newby Hall, with a few little extras. There are also two pictures of the Long Borders at Newby Hall. Remember, this autumn, gardeners at Newby Hall will begin to replant the borders. If you want one last look at them as they are now, don't leave it too late.
The pictures are here, at Photobucket:
A Miscellany of Images
And then we at least started to look at The Garden in September and October. Here are the handouts:

Strange as it may seem, we included a discussion of the garden in winter as our main topic, here in midsummer. But, as we said, in order to enjoy a garden in winter, you have to start planning early.
Here are the handouts:
