The next event in our calendar, the Spring Plant Sale, will be held on Saturday 12th May 2012
at Centre 70. The sale starts at 9 am and is open to the public as well as
members. This year, a few WAGS members will be growing a variety of annuals and
vegetables, and some perennials, from pre-purchased plugs. The annuals will
include:
Geranium (Pelargonium) – large flowers in red, rose, salmon,
pink, white and orange
Petunia – bright pink and red grandiflora flowers, some with
a striking white centre and frilly edges
Verbena – masses of deep red, pink and white flowers
Lobelia (trailing) – mixture of mid blue, light blue, white,
carmine, purple, mauve and lilac
Begonia – clusters of small flowers in red and pink colours
on top of attractive bronze and green foliage
Gazania – good in dry
conditions, plant in full sun. Colours are orange, yellow, white and red, with
stripes and stars
This will be a great opportunity
to buy plants for your bedding and containers so don’t miss out! We hope to
have the usual array of vegetables too, whether for garden or allotment.
Also, if you have a few surplus plants
of your own—annuals and vegetables (but NO tomatoes thanks!)—then please bring them
to the WAGS Store between 6 and 7 pm on Friday 11th May, or just before
the sale on Saturday morning. Please label your plants clearly for the benefit
of buyers!
Proceeds will be used to help run WAGS, and go towards
making the Autumn Show another success.
We hope to see you there.
