Soil Testing 31/1/10
Today there was a hands on "chemistry" lesson with the acidity/alkalinity of soil being tested.
Christmas Table Decoration 6/12/09
Jean Couper again gave us a delightful demonstration of Festive Floral Art. Then eyes down and concentration. Everyone then produced a spectacular centrepiece that would grace any Christmas Day table. (I’ll bet that not many Mums could do any better).
SHOW 2009
The Groove Growits exhibit had a vegetable theme and received a Commended Award (and a prize of £10.00)
(If any of you have a photo of it, please send it in {} and it will appear below.)
14/8/09 Preparation for the Show
The Groovy Growits are entering a Pallet Garden again in this years show. In preparation the held a "mock up" in Lesley's garage, bringing along plants that they had grown during the year. Although the "Garden" will have a vegetable theme, little has been given away (to our competitors) and all will be revealed on Judging Day.
Insectivorous Plants at the Winter Gardens 2/7/09
Alan Findlay and the Winter gardens staff were setting up a brand new display of insectivorous plants and they asked if the Groovy Growits would like to be involved. We naturally jumped at the chance to help out – what a tremendous opportunity. They had a bench set up, the plants were there, so we got stuck right in to make a fantastic display.
The results – before and after - can be seen below:-
Planting and Leaf Cuttings 22/2/2009
Today, many bulbs were panted with the hope that they would produce a good show later on. Leaf cuttings from African Marigold, Begonia and Streptocarpus were also planted.
