Hilary Passant's garden, Rose Cottage - This Wednesday 20th April
A reminder that this month, instead of an indoor meeting, we are going to re-visit Hilary Passant’s garden, Rose Cottage at Four Crosses SY226RB on April 20th. Meet in the square at 6pm or at the garden at 6.30pm. This is a week earlier than our usual date as Easter is late.
In the same spirit as last year we are following our visit with a meal at Bengal Spices in Llanymynech. If you haven’t already put your name down for the meal then please let Sue Bossom know ASAP.
