The last Hilton Garden Club outing was to "The Gates" - just outside the gates of Hilton College - where Gordon Stuart gave us a talk on the garden he is currently landscaping at one of the houses. Although the garden is obviously very new and dry and brown, it was interesting to have Gordon talk us through the design of the garden and his choice of plants.
The next Hilton Garden Club meeting will be on Tuesday, 19 August when we will visit gardens in Ashburton. The final choice has still to be arranged, but people interested in joining us should meet at the Hilton Town Board offices at 8.30 a.m. to share lifts and receive directions to the venue. Jenny Hoepfl is the convenor and can be contacted on (033) 343-4119.
