For the week ahead and beyond, we are highlighting some events we think you will be interested to participate in.
Meeting with Sheila Das from RHS Wisley
The Little Gaddesden WI has its Ashridge Group open meeting on Thursday 19 September 2024 in the Great Gaddesden village hall starting at 7:30pm. This hall is diagonally opposite the garden centre on the Leighton Buzzard Road.
They are delighted to have Sheila Das from Wisley giving a talk. This will cover the history of the RHS and how Wisley has evolved over the years together with reference to biodiversity and sustainability. Sheila is a very interesting lady as we met her when she came to a VPA AGM. Please see the various things she gets up to by following this link to her Instagram.
So, if a circus is not your cuppa, please come along for a traditional cuppa with lots of cake to meet Sheila as it is an “open” WI evening where everyone is very welcome.
Entry is £4 to include refreshments, a raffle, the competition is a single bloom if you have a spectacular one in your garden and wish to take part. We look forward to seeing you.
Harvest Supper Quiz
Harvest Supper Quiz: (28 September 2024), currently there are a few seats available so do get in touch to have your name included. £25 per head. Doors open at 6pm: harvest-supper@lgvpa.org.
Planned RHS Wisley Visit
As you will know we are affiliated members of the RHS. Part of that membership entitles us to organise a group visit to one of their gardens. There are plans taking shape to organise a trip to Wisley, in conjunction with the LG (Ashridge Group) WIs, possibly in May 2025. The idea being a coach would be organised to pick up from predetermined stops and drive to Wisley for the day. If you would like to record your interest in joining this day out please let us know at hello@lgvpa.org giving your contact details and you will be added to the list for when further details are available.
