Dear Members,
Spring has arrived with a wonderful period of sunny weather; everywhere looks so green and fresh and, as I write this, with a fine display of bluebells.
Our AGM went well; now we welcome David as a full member of the Committee and will have a web site available to use which may bring some new members to join us and which complements our superb newsletter.
I have started to visit gardens that are open to the public for various charities so nice to see other people’s ideas for their gardens.
We now have a garden to watch develop at Fountains Abbey. Thank you to everyone who visited for the opening. It was good to see something we had contributed to with the donations and money made on our talks, lunches and special events.
I hope you will be able to join us for the Yorkshire Day picnic, and also on some of our summer visits; remember, if you do not have your own transport, you can always ask to see if lifts can be given.
Now I wish you a good summer and hope we get some (more) good weather to enjoy our wonderful countryside. – Geoff Bayford
