Birmingham Branch collections open day July 17th 2011

[Stuart Estell]

Folks,

After an enjoyable time last year, four of us from Birmingham Branch will be opening our greenhouses to all and sundry again this year. This will be on Sunday the 17th of July 2011 - 10am - 4pm - the collections that will be open will be:

Derek Castle, Moseley - Branch President
Stuart Estell, Bournville - Branch Chairman
Gill Mills, West Heath
Arthur Tomkins, Frankley

Refreshments will be available, as well as sales plants at most if not all of the collections (although quantities may be limited). I'll let people draw their own conclusions about my plants, but I'd heartily recommend seeing the other three collections. We are all within something like a 10-15 minute drive of each other.

I'm reusing last year's thread so that you can see what previous visitors said! Look forward to seeing anyone who can make it.

I'll post further details regarding times and locations soon, but if you're interested I'd appreciate either a PM or a reply on this thread!

A gentle reminder that our open day is this weekend! I may even have my second greenhouse built in time...
