There are still several Salvia Amistad (easy in a pot if you have filled your borders!), 2 big clumps of orange Crocosmia, Verbena bonariansis seedlings, Tellimas, a large pot of Phlox and more.
Many thanks to all those who bought aswell as those who donated their spare plants.

Visit to Thornbridge Hall Gardens
Posted in Gardens, Societies on Saturday June 26, 2021| Leave a Comment »
PDHS – Visit to Thornbridge Hall Gardens.
We are planning to visit Thornbridge Hall Gardens on 28 July. Entry is free to RHS members ( on production of current 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 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.

Plants for Sale
Posted in Gardens, Societies on Saturday May 8, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Plants will again be for sale outside Rookery House next week onwards.
Sales will be in aid of Parwich and District Horticultural Society to help replenish funds.
Open Gardens would normally be our main fund raiser and this is the second year that we are unable to hold this event. Aswell as subsidising trips and speakers for members, PDHS is usually able to make generous donations to other village groups. By purchasing or donating plants to sell you can help us continue to do this.
Look out for vegetable and flower seedlings alongside unusual perennials. Hand sanitiser will be available next to a collection jar.
Many thanks

It is with great regret that we will have to cancel Open Gardens this year. Covid restrictions have created too many complications for our small committee to overcome alongside a smaller number of gardens able to open. This means that there will be no donations available for village groups again this year.
However, we are hoping to hold a casual evening event in July where we can open gardens for folks from the village.
Definite plans (Boris permitting!) include the Produce Show on September 12th, a talk in October and the Bob Matthews Quiz on November 20th in the Legion. Looking forward to seeing you all then.
Next year is the 70th anniversary of the Society and with your help we hope to have a bumper year!
