Talks and Group Visits
Vicky is available to give talks to societies, gardening clubs and other interested groups.
Talks last for approx. 45 minutes to 1 hour (nearly always 1 hour unless requested otherwise) depending on what you require.
Richard will bring plants, gift vouchers, etc to sell after the talk.
Our gift vouchers come in £5.00, £10.00 & £20.00 you can purchase a hand made card to put them in for a futher £2.50 if you should wish.
We will bring plants for individuals if they order in good time.
We are availble for talks - Mid October (after open day) - November - February, & March.
Talks given, usually include colour photographs using 'Power Point Presentation' We bring all our own equipment but if you do have a screen that saves us carrying ours (they are quite bulky.)

This includes a coffee and a piece of home made cake on china crockery.
