Another lovely club trip to David Cheshire Nursery at Mill Hill, Baginton, near Coventry. CV8 3AG. Even the weather was on our side. A quick look at the main display area and then David gave us a guided tour of the ‘out of bounds’ growing areas……… in fact I think that Barry is STILL ferreting around there, looking for the best ones……….. https://www.davidcheshirenurseries.co.uk/
Another very warm and sunny day at the Wanborough show 2026, as well as the main marquee display we had a gazebo for a workshop which the visitors found interesting. Unfortunately a sudden gust of wind destroyed the gazebo but at least the trees survived. Sorry that my photography couldn’t cope with the very strong sun in the marquee as it was behind the trees, but it gives an idea of the tree display. A huge thanks to all who made this a great day enjoyed by a large amount of visitors.
Shaun pointed out this neat little find at the apex of a Larch being worked on at Chichester’s recent show.
