Although there were not a huge number of entries, the variety and quality of the containers was very high. As well as plants including pelargoniums petunias and lobelia (both blue and white) several of the containers were white or blue themselves, which proved very effective. An the winner is\u2026..TO BE ANNOUNCED!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, Anne has details of the arrangements for those of you stewarding at the Alresford show on September 3<sup>rd<\/sup>. A reminder that we also need donations for the Tombola, which this year will be our only form of income as we are not charging for entries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Val is also taking bookings for the trip to Wisley on Sept 27<sup>th<\/sup>, we do need a full coach for this trip. We haven\u2019t been at this time of year for a while, but the prairie plantings should be fading elegantly, and many late summer\/autumn bulbs in full swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a reminder that September\u2019s meeting is here on the 14<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;with Paul Patton, who is \u201cLooking Forward to Spring\u201d and then in October on the 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;we have John Wood talking on \u201cAll Things Dahlias\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I have great pleasure in introducing tonight\u2019s speaker, George Mann who is talking on the about the River Itchen. George spent years watching, recording and photographing the river near Martyr Worthy and chronicling the wildlife and management methods, and publishing a book covering this study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephen Morley<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunshine, sunshine everywhere, nor any drop of rain, as the Ancient Mariner didn\u2019t say, but might well have done after the past month\u2019s weather<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,14,6,8],"tags":[15],"class_list":["post-171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-7","category-archived","category-august","category-newsletter","tag-archived"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alresfordhorticultural.org\/_wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
