CHS LECTURES  

LECTURES are normally held at 7.30 pm in Waunfawr Community Hall Brynceinion, Waunfawr, Aberystwyth SY23 3PN Click here for a map showing the venue. Our Hall remains closed in the immediate future due to Welsh lockdown measures taken for our safety.
From September to March, the CHS meet on every second Tuesday of the month. We try for at least one autumn lecturer who brings plants and there is a plant-swap table from September to November. The evenings finish with tea & coffee – except for December, when we have a glass of wine and mince pies. Signs to the hall are put out on the night and there is parking next to the Hall with level access. Lecture reports are in the spring issue of Spadework.
We hope to be appending our usual list of lively speakers here soon!

September to November
PLANT SWAP TABLE
A Sarracena snapped up by Philip Ellis from the CHS plant swap table is happy enough to flower in its new home and is now guzzling flies. All plants are welcome and a donation box ensures that your grateful sweeping-up of such gems can benefit the CHS. If you wish to place a mature palm or elephant-sized clump of Gunnera, contact the CHS and bring a picture to the lecture.

PLEASE FILL THIS EMPTY POT!

Do you have a picture of a plant
bought at the plant-swap table
or from a lecturer to put here?

St. Piran Daffodils
Our Christmas 2019 lecturers, Julian and Fiona Wormald, who had previously visited my garden to collect snowdrop specimens, kindly brought with them a ‘thank you’ gift of some daffodil bulbs which I planted immediately, beside a new bench. In April I discovered they have a wonderful scent. The variety is St Piran, produced by a Cornish specialist and named after the county’s patron saint. I have ordered dozens more to surround what we now call ‘the St Piran bench’.
