Once again, you are all invited to my open day. Hopefully there should be no mishaps with the spring and the plants should be in peak condition. There are now 5 greenhouses up and one greenhouse has been extended by 2m so there will be plenty of new plants and an expanded setup to see. There will of course be plenty of plants for sale and please feel free to bring your own to sell and swap on the day.

Please email me if you would like to come with numbers so we can get the food in. Also, I can provide a list of B&Bs. On the Sunday, we can do a field trip to Wem moss common (bring wellies!) where one can find all 3 Drosera species.

An evening trip to a restaurant on the Saturday is planned as it was a great success last year.

Should be a lot of fun!

I'll be there again one way or another Mike.
Had an unscheduled change of van a couple of months ago (Bigger, Faster and more economical.
May stay for the weekend IF I go in the van but don't worry about B&B as I'll be happy in one of the greenhouses cuddled up to one of the L9's  :shock:

Hi Mike,

Book two more in.  Myself and Gill enjoyed the friendly atmosphere.  It was a great laugh so can't wait.

Won't have a hangover this year (maybe!)

Cheers.
Stu and Gill.
