August Meeting: “Ancient and Modern -Rhododendrons in Our Time” with Paul Picton

The next meeting is on Monday 5th August. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30 start. Come early for a coffee and a chat. Visitors are welcome, with entry at £8, under-18s free.

As President of the Wyche and Colwall Horticuiltural Society, Paul needs no introduction. We are delighted that he will be talking to us about a group of plants which he is passionate about.

Paul says he is a “lover and grower of plants, not a botanist”, and his writing is based on his hands-on experience. With more than fifty years of working with asters, he has a vast knowledge of the genus and has written “The Gardener’s Guide to Growing Asters” as well as “The Plant Lover’s Guide to Asters”, with daughter Helen.

Also a keen photographer, Paul shares his fabulous pictures through his blog at https://paulpictonswebpatch.blog/ 

Plants and gardens are featured along with photographs of his other interests, landscapes and churches.
