Plants for Shade by Paul Fonnereau

Paul Fonnereau, one of the new owners of Cove Garden Nursery visited the Club to give an interesting talk on his subject "Plants for Shade", illustrated with slides. He started by giving us the causes and features of share, then went on to suggest ways of improving the situation. Next he described how many plants have adapted over the years, to cope with the problems, the slides giving us an insight as to how this has been achieved. The final section of his talk gave us plant selections which are suitable for difficult shady, damp and have these areas in our gardens.

The evening finished with a question time, plant sale and usual cup of tea.
