With no speaker this time, it was a nice informal meeting which gave new members a chance to chat and get to know others. Pat chaired the meeting and had set us a quiz based on the names of flowers, and then gave a short talk about oak trees and acorns! She then distributed packets of acorns she had gathered, with advice on how to cultivate them till they grow big enough (in about 2 years!) to be transplanted to sites in the borough that want to increase their tree population.
A long term project - but she'd recently discovered that unknown to her, an acorn had taken root in her garden and had already produced a sapling, so she's well on the way with her result.
