🌿 Earlsdon Gardening Club 12th May welcomed the Potty Plotters 🌿
We were absolutely delighted to welcome Elaine and Julie, better known as the Potty Plotters, for a wonderfully entertaining evening.
Travelling from Derby, the sisters brought their passion for allotment living to life, sharing their experiences of growing, cooking and making the most of everything their plots produce. Alongside their allotments, they host their own podcast, Plotcast, and a radio show, and their storytelling, humour and practical advice really shone through.
Their enthusiasm for repurposing and sustainable living was both inspiring and refreshingly down to earth, with plenty of ideas for us all to take away and try in our own gardens.
It was an engaging, lively and thoroughly enjoyable evening, full of laughter as well as useful tips. Our thanks go to Elaine and Julie for such a memorable visit.

🌿Earlsdon Gardening club – 13th April🌿
On Monday 13th April, we enjoyed a special evening with Darren Rudge, a local garden designer, who gave a fun and practical talk titled Teabags, bras and tights.
Darren talked us through how everyday household items can be reused in the garden to make gardening more cost effective and sustainable. The evening was packed with top tips, clever ideas and a good dose of gardening trivia, all focused on re using what we already have and making the most of simple, low cost solutions.
It was an engaging and informative talk that left everyone with plenty of ideas to try at home, and a reminder that sustainable gardening does not have to be expensive.
🌿 Earlsdon Gardening Club – Monday 9th March 🌿
We had a thoroughly entertaining and fascinating evening with Matthew Symonds, who joined Earlsdon Gardening Club to take us on a journey through the beautiful gardens of India.
Matthew shared captivating stories, stunning imagery and a real sense of place as he explored the gardens of the sub continent. From grand landscapes to quieter garden spaces, the talk was full of inspiration and insight, and kept everyone engaged throughout the evening.
It was a wonderful opportunity to travel through gardens far from home, learn something new and enjoy great company, and we would like to thank Matthew for such an enjoyable and memorable talk.
