Geoff King also spoke about the Bishop's Palace Garden and hoped that some members would volunteer to help there. Terry Timblick introduced the book he had co-authored with his
wife, Christine, and offered copies at a discounted price. The new
book 'A Picture of the South Downs' appeals to both lovers of Art
and Nature and is available direct from the authors. The well known RHS award winner Barry Chambers was also present and is offering one day informal Garden Design Courses starting on November 15th. |
