The
Stilton Gardening Club meets on the third Tuesday of every
month at the Church Meeting Room at 7:30pm - check the Diary
for details.
A presentation is usually provided by a guest speaker, and
recent topics have included "The Gardens at Hemingford
Manor", "Rare and Different Bulbs", and "Fuschias".
Occasional trips to local gardens are also planned, including
the gardens at Hemingford Manor. Sometimes we travel further
afield - for example, Kew Gardens. Please contact Olive
on 241206 for more details.
Every
summer the club runs the Open Gardens event, and judges
the Best Kept Garden Competition for The Gawler Trophy,
in memory of Stan Gawler. The rules are:
- The
judges will be looking for a tidy garden - ornamental,
vegetable, or a mixture
- Judging
will take place during the month of July
- The
judge will be the previous year's winner
- A
winner cannot enter the next years competition
- Practising
professional gardeners cannot enter
- The
Judge's decision will be final
- The
Competition is open to all residents of Stilton, Folksworth,
Denton, Caldecote and Morborne
- The
Competition is open to all age groups. Special junior
prizes can be awarded at the judge's discretion
