There are still a few places left for our visit to Thornbridge Hall Gardens on 28 July. Entry is free to RHS members ( on production of current RHS membership card) or £7.00 to non RHS members, meet in the car park at Thornbridge Hall at 1.30pm.

As the venue is quite close and coach travel is a little complicated we are lift-sharing.

Please let me know if you would like to join us (non PDHS members welcome) and also whether you are prepared to drive and offer lifts to others (tel 561 or email glynisdrummond@gmail.com). I will then coordinate the lift share. There are currently seats available for those who don’t want to drive.

A big thank you to all who bought or provided plants over the last couple of months. We made an incredible £325 for Parwich and District Horticultural Society. This will certainly more than cover the costs of the talk later on this year.
We hope to have more plants for sale on July 21st when a selection of gardens will open in the village for An Evening  in the Garden. Donations of plants gratefully accepted, preferably labelled.

There is now a big choice of lovely plants and seedlings for sale outside Rookery House in aid of Parwich and District Horticultural Society.
Come and pick up unusual varieties of Dianthus and tree peony; bedding plants like miniature dahlias, marigolds; herbs and tomato plants. There are also currently some good-sized Heleniums. Much better value than the garden centre and for a good cause! With the lack of Open Gardens PDHS needs to replenish the coffers so that it can continue to support other village groups.
You’ll find a jar for donations alongside a bottle of hand sanitiser. 
Thank you

The AGM for this year has been postponed again. We are unable to make any plans for the future in the present circumstances and as we have had no income this year – Open Gardens had to be cancelled – we are unfortunately unable to make any donations to any village groups. The accounts are available for anyone to see if they contact Jenny Letten, our Treasurer, or Jill Love or Sue Ash. If anyone wishes to pay the £3 subscription for 2021 (discounts for seeds are still available for members) it can be forwarded to any of the above. We are hoping that restrictions will be lifted over the summer and if so we will then plan for future events, notice for which will published on the Blog and village boards.
