Recommendations and Tips - some from speakers, some home grown
As you can see from our programme,
we have a varied list of speakers at our meetings, some of whom provide
us with a list of plants they recommend for our conditions in North
West England. Click on a Speaker below for their personal details
and the Topic to see their recommendations.
The lists are in PDF format, which can be viewed with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
