    Italian Garden    

  Piet Oudolf's Long Border  

           A total of 41 Gardening Society members and their friends

        visited Trentham Garden on May 9th 2009.  We were    

        blessed with dry and sunny weather, though there was

        a chill breeze coming off the lake when you were not in the

        shelter of the woodland walk.  Though the Piet Oudolf garden

        was just beginning to come to life again, the Italian Garden

        looked magnificent.  The little show gardens behind the

        children's play area were also very cleverly designed.

            It is clear that alot of effort is being put into the development of the garden and

            surrounding area.  Members also managed to come back home with lighter purses

            and wallets after being tempted in the retail outlet.  For a number of members

            the visit brought back happy memories of Sunday School trips and nights spent 

            dancing to the big band sounds of the1950s.
