Letters: Are you interested in joining a local gardening group?

Dear Editor

My partner and I have lived in Bedford for a number of years now and during that time have met many residents interested in gardening, whether they have a large plot or just a small space in the corner of a balcony.

Despite the huge amount of interest in gardening, there doesn’t seem to be any club or association in the local vicinity where people can come along and chat about garden-related topics with like-minded people or experts willing to help us amateurs.

So, we have thought about starting up a club where people can meet and discuss topics over a cup of tea and cake on a weekly basis, where we can invite experts to give a talk on their field or perhaps even organise trips to award-winning gardens around the country.

If anyone out there is interested in joining such a club perhaps they could email me on TheBedfordGardener@aol.com and if there are sufficient numbers, perhaps we could move it onto the next step.
