Here we are, a new year, a new term, and a new venue for the Tuesday Group.

I hope everyone finds the new venue comfortable. There is the disadvantage of not easily being able to photocopy, but I'm sure we'll deal with that. I'd be interested to hear what you think about the Centre.

Here's the Course Programme for this term:

Don't forget that next session, those of you who are doing a Plant of the Week are going to tell us which ones you're planning to do. Presentations for the coming week are going to be from Robert and Judy on Tuesday, and from Margaret and Tracy on Friday.

It's another busy schedule for us this week.

Our plants of the week were:

On Tuesday, Hydrangea paniculata from Maureen and Roscoea from Jean. On Friday, Hardy cyclamen from Carole and Potentilla from Margaret.

Images for Friday's plants of the week will follow, and I'll update this post to include them. Meantime, here are the others:
