Germs:<\/strong> As gardeners we know that a bit of dirt does you no harm, but a few germs have recently proven to be less good for us\u2026 In light of this, we now aim to make our meetings a lower risk environment. Please don\u2019t attend if you feel unwell or show symptoms of Covid or Flu. We space the chairs out a bit as a default, but you\u2019re free to sit closer if you choose. Please be considerate, give other people space, and if you have a cough, please think about testing to make sure it\u2019s not Covid and consider wearing a mask out of courtesy. Top windows may be opened a little to encourage air circulation so don\u2019t forget to bring a warm layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our favourite speakers returns with an account of his plant hunting trip in Australia.
