Spring Plant Sale at New Hall – 10th May
You know that the Woodlanders’ show season has really started when you turn up at New Hall, a bit like Apple Day in October really marks the end. Even though this show is only just down the road for us, it seems that the dedicated band of volunteers still turn up with almost as much equipment as if it was a two day event in Brighton.
We had people making bird feeders and plant labels aiming to build up stock ready for the forthcoming larger events. I set about making a woven screen from hazel, to fulfill an order. Perhaps my planning was not very good as I choose
to weave hazel rods in a walled garden when the sun was beating down, however I was pleased with the outcome and it was delivered on the way home.
A very successful and enjoyable day was had by all the volunteers and got us in training for the next few weeks.
