CHS PLANT SALE at YNYSHIR
SUNDAY 27 JUNE 2pm-4pm
Members who contributed plants and homebaking to our CHS Pop-Up Plant Sale and Tea in the gardens of Ynyshir restaurant, Eglwys Fach had a glorious, sunny afternoon. There was ample parking and the spacious grounds allowed for social distancing. An open sided marquee and gazebo provided tea with home-baked bara brith and Welshcakes, plus much-needed shade instead of the usually anticipated shelter.

Tables laden with plants grown by members were laid out in the gardens. Joy Neal’s Arum Lilies walked off their table in the arms of a few lucky early birds.
