with rafales ( gusts) of 65kms per hour forecast I was glad that we and the
plants were undercover.
Firstly many thanks to Terry Tippett from Parisot who came with the most
wonderful selection of plants for sale. This was alongside our plant
exchange ( just in case we did not have enough plants ) There were no
worries about that as the choice was amazing. Gill Catterall receives ' Le
Prix d' honneur' for her labelling and descriptions of the plants she brought and also bringing books to identify plants we did not know. I think second in labelling class was Jean du Jardin ( yes, he was there, not the film star but Jean Donies from The Jardins de Quercy) I was happy to make the acquaintance of two Dutch Taglines readers Janet Emmelkamp a singing teacher 'Professeur de Chant' and Riet Okken who as well as practising the 'Tomatis ' therapy is a psychological astrologer. I am sure we will hear more of these two interesting ladies.
At the last minute we had a visit from a local French farmers wife who was delighted to load up her car with plants , all for free. I am pleased after my apprehension that we
all decided Tagline readers and the Fifi gardening group that it was a great success and must be kept in the calendar for next year .
There are a few ground cover plants left over which we will donate to 'The Jardin de Paradis' who are asking for these plants.
