Next Meeting - Plants of Madeira - Brian Fisher
An introduction to the native flora of Madeira. A brief look at introduced species that have become naturalised in Madeira. The ways that plants are used in public spaces, botanical gardens and private gardens. Quinta houses built by wealthy landowners who established extensive exotic gardens, public gardens with beautiful displays, streets lined with flowering trees and even a ‘Magic Garden’ that can only be entered through a cafe form the basis of this talk.

We've set up a CSGGA Facebook Group - March 2021
Our Facebook page is open to all, not only CSGGA Members. Anyone with an interest in gardening can join this group to discuss gardening matters, ask or answer questions about gardening and just chat all things garden! Whether you have a garden, a few plants on your windowsill or containers, join in the conversation! We’re a group of enthusiastic amateur gardeners who are sharing thoughts, knowledge and experience but any advice is not professional (unless stated otherwise).

December 2021
On the coldest day of the year, just over 20 of us visited Waddesdon for their Christmas Lights. Perhaps it was the cold but there were mixed reviews, some preferring Kew and Wisley. I really enjoyed it. The sky was clear when we arrived and we watched the sun set before the lights turned the landscape into a magical wonderland – the elephants were particularly spectacular as was Waddesdon Manor.
Our Plant Sale - date to be confirmed in May, 2022
As things stand at the moment, we will be able to hold our annual plant sale on the Village Green again this year, so please remember to plant some extra seeds, make additional divisions and take extra cuttings in preparation!
