May 2026 Meeting and Show Table

Monday’s May meeting, the day after the Spring Plant Sale, drew members old and new, a fragrant and colourful Show Table and a fascinating talk on ‘Miss Willmott’s Ghosts’ by author Sandra Lawrence.

As always, there were refreshments and a raffle, and questions for next month’s ‘Gardening Question Time’ were submitted (if you have a question to put forward, please send it to the CABAHS email address). The final few bargains left over from the previous day’s Plant Sale were available on the plant sales table.

Roses featured strongly on this month’s Show Table, some with exquisite scent and such wonderful colours. There were single specimens and mixed arrangements, as well as a beautiful cactus with an enormous flower. The winner of ‘Best on the Show Table’ this month was Jayne with a beautifully contrasting deep red rose, yellow Cestrum and lime green Euphorbia. Congratulations Jayne!

Thanks as always to those running the signing-in and plant sales tables, the raffle, the refreshments and the sound facilities.
