"Hanging Baskets, Tubs and Pots" was the title of the talk given to members by Brian Carlson of Willand. He started his demonstration with a hanging basket, giving members advice on his recommended size of the basket, which is easiest to take care of. He then went on to show us his way of lining and filling the basket, the best mixture of soil and a selection of plants to use to give the best effect. Tubs and pots followed and advice given on planting, illustrated with pictures of all three containers including award winning items.
The audience very appreciative and many questions were asked. The main advice he gave was to water containers once a day and twice a day in hot weather and deadhead regularly.
The Chairman, Tim Nichols, thanked Mr Carlson for his interesting and informative talk.
