Angela Ball
Role - Chair
Profile -I have been gardening for as long as I can remember - starting as a young child ‘helping’ my grandfather on his allotment. My gardening philosophy is to work in support of nature and I enjoy seeing the wild life flourish as a result. I grow fruit and veg and like experimenting with new and unusual things, this year I tried growing chick peas and had home grown sea kale for the first time. In the flower garden I am interested in scent and seasonal colour and try and plant for maximum effect.
Ann Billington
Role - Secretary
Profile -My interest in gardening comes from my Dad, who, like me, had a very limited knowledge of growing things and learned the hard way, occasional triumphs and lots of failures. Having a small garden, I attempt to grow vegetables in tubs, along with tomatoes and peppers in a small plastic greenhouse. I am known to make jam, but my one real gardening love is roses, all kinds, especially the ones with a strong perfume. Gardening is not an easy run, but its great fun to try.
Lesley Howell
Role- Treasurer
Profile - I am lucky enough to have front, side and rear garden which are a continuing challenge. I spend most of my time keeping down the weeds and fill both my green bins every fortnight. It gives me a complete break from my role as carer for my husband.
I love growing vegetables and using them, having my own vegetables on the plate at Christmas felt great. I also enjoy entering my some of my harvest for the Annual Show. I joined the society to gain from the experience of others, I am in awe of some of the other members skills, ideas and energy.
