Nick also brought along a selection of his plants for sale and after his talk members descended on these like hoards of locusts and snapped them up in no time at all!
Nick Dobson gave us a very interesting talk about his favourite flowers - Dahlias, Pelargoniums and Fuchsias. He told us a little about their origins - some were incredibly ancient - evidence of their existence found from 9 million year ago! He told us a bit about those who discovered them, and showed us some wonderful slides of the very many beautiful and diverse varieties that have been developed over the years, including some new varieties he'd developed himself - one called 'My Mum' which was very popular on Mother's Day! He also gave some very useful advice on growing and propagating them and how to keep white fly at bay.
