Philip Johnson - Monthly Meeting March 2017

Our Monthly Meeting for March features Philip Johnson who has been growing autumn sown Sweet Peas for over 35 years.

During that time he has become a prominent member of the National Sweet Pea Society. As well as a keen exhibitor he has gone on to judge at major shows. He was made an honorary member of the Kent Federation of Horticultural Societies in 2009 in recognition for 25 years service as a Sweet Pea judge. He is a former chairman of the NSPS / Royal Horticultural Society Sweet Pea trials held at RHS Wisley Garden, Surrey. Philip is currently serving as a member of RHS Herbaceous Committee.

But Philip is not just a Sweet Pea nut! He works as a professional gardener where he is well respected for his skills and experience. He has an eye for design and colour which is reflected in the current selection of colour blends. In addition to this he runs a small nursery offering a range of plants available at selected Plant Fairs in Kent and the South East.

We also have a "pop-up" competition which give you the opportunity to bring along your Hellebores. On the left is an idea of a way to display them.

This is in addition to the usual monthly
Competition.
