Thurcaston and Cropston Gardening Club The summer activities of the Thurcaston and Cropston Gardening Club continued in July with a ‘members and guest’ event. This was a ‘garden trail’ in Cropston. The first garden was on a reasonably steep slope but was very cleverly designed to use the slope to advantage with terraces on different levels. The planting in the garden was also very creative which helped the different levels blend together. Gardening Club members and guests spent about an hour admiring this garden. The second garden was much bigger than the first and was packed full of wonderful plants for us all to enjoy. As well as the lovely garden there was also excellent food, drink, and warm hospitality. A number of members prepared food, and the garden owners provided an excellent BBQ and drink. This was the second year this event had been held and this year it attracted over 50 members and guests. It was an informal social event, based on local gardens, where members and guests were able to relax and socialise. The Club committee wish to thank all those who contributed to the event.
