WELCOME

Welcome to our Gardening Club Rhydlewis and District Gardening Club has been around since the time of Adam and Eve. In fact, it is believed that one of our members planted and tended the very apple tree that gave rise to the pair being expelled from the garden!!

Whether this urban myth is true or not, the club is here to encourage, improve and extend the members' knowledge of all branches of horticulture. It is open to everyone and new members are all always welcome to come along.

Our activities during the year include a varied programme of talks and social events, summer garden visits, a plant sale, social gatherings/bbq and an annual open show in August.

Later Autumn Jobs in the Garden

Dear Gardeners, Thank you so much for comeing down to the Rydlewis Carpart last week to collect the bags of bulbs for the Pam Hufferdine Prize. The bulbs were kindly donated by Roger at Trfhedyn Garden Centre in Newcastle Emlyn again this year. Thanks Roger! These bulbs should be planted in the next few weeks and kept safe from mice, etc, until they pop up above the surface. After that, it's up to you; to grown them for maximum effect for the spring show, you need to keep them cool until March; if you want to see the flowers when they are ready, just let them bloom...but do send a photo to the Facebook page. Meanwhile, there are plenty of jobs to be getting on with in the garden, and I've been checking the RHS site, which has so much good advice and news. Go to; The next time the gardening club committee will meet (possibly by Zoom) will be mid January. We'll assess the situation then, and if possible, we will be holding the AGM in the Village Hall on the last Tuesday of the month, as always. We will be keeping you posted, so look out for email alerts Until then, we wish you a safe winter, a warm house, a robin to sing outside your window and very happy winter gardening.
