Community Orchard News
PROPOSAL SENT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MILTON'S COTTAGEWe would like to create a community orchard, managed in a natural way, full of wildflowers and a haven for wildlife, a place we can all share, that can help revive forgotten skills and an interest in our fruit growing heritage. Our vision is to make the orchard a valuable addition to village life, offering the opportunity for cross generational learning and involvement in a community project.

At the end of July, we had a thoroughly enjoyable trip, brilliantly organised by Eleanor O'Connor. If you were unable to join us, both the Arboretum and Victorian gardens are certainly worth a visit.
What a gem the Hill Close gardens were. Even in this dry spell there was plenty to see. These were "real" gardens, lots of ideas to take home (and plants to buy!!) Caroline Jackson Plans are afoot for a Christmas outing. Watch this space! |

We've set up a CSGGA Facebook Group - March 2021Our 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, 2022As 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!
