LITTLE WALTHAM GARDENING CLUB – November meeting 2025
Unfortunately the planned speaker for our November meeting was unable to attend due to illness. However, local alpine enthusiast and gardener Rod Willett kindly stepped into the breach. The topic of his presentation was ‘The Garden of Ashtree Cottage Throughout the Year.’
Rod and his wife Sue are lovers of small, beautiful and unusual plants. They have created a number of different habitats within their small shady garden. There is a scree garden and a bog garden together with glorious flower beds and containers that are all home to a great range and number of plants which bring joy and colour to the garden all the year round. Every inch of soil provides a niche for precious gems, amongst which are a great variety of snowdrops, scillas, narcissi, fritillaries, species tulips, hellebores, irises, trilliums, lillies and a host of managed flowering shrubs,
In true gardening fashion, many of the plants have come from cuttings, offsets, gifts and seeds.
This is a unique plant lovers’ garden, a delight to enjoy on a dark November evening.
The Club’s next meeting will be a Members’ Festive Social on Wednesday 3rd December after which we take a break until WEDNESDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2025 when Marion Sidebottom will be helping us to take ‘PLANT PHOTOS USING A SMART PHONE OR TABLET’. 7.30pm. Little Waltham Memorial Hall.
