CHRISTMAS AND THEN 2021

With all the doom and gloom around, it is heartening for anyone who gardens to know that just round the corner new life will start coming, with the snow drops, crocus and daffodils. Then a little after that the trees will burst into life with all the spring blossom.  Makes you feel better just thinking about the prospect. 

Our local churches are ready for Christmas. We hope you are too, and that you make the best of it possible, in the unusual circumstances.

Daffodil Competition 2021

 

As we wind towards the end of 2020, that has proved to be a most unusual year, but so far as LODHS is concerned, a touch of normality has been possible.

One of the features of our AGM in December is to distribute daffodil bulbs to those members present, for them to grow, then bring and show the resulting efforts at the April Meeting. The entries are then judged by those at the meeting and a winner declared.

So as we could do something together, Jenny and Rick brought the bulbs ('Golden Trumpets'), supplied the pots and set up the operation in the Red Cross Car Park on Saturday 4 December. Members could then collect their daffodils and exchange seasonal greetings. All from a safe distance.

A few bulbs remain, so do contact Jenny if you wish to have a go at growing some ready for April.
