Salix gracilistyla Mount Aso
Programme 2025 – 26
The cost will generally be £4 per person for HPS members and £6 per person for non-members, though it may be higher for some speakers, plus £1 for each raffle ticket. The ticket cost will be included in the meeting details for each speaker.
The funds raised go towards the cost of our speakers and improving our future programme as well as towards our raffle prizes (raffle tickets are optional of course). Now that we are back to meeting in this larger hall, we have also taken the opportunity to invest some of the proceeds of last season’s programme into a new projector: being able to show larger clearer images will be of real benefit for our speakers and all of us.

Grass Consciousness

Suddenly, grasses are everywhere in modern garden design. Whether it’s the New American Movement, New Perennial Movement, Prairie planting or more generally, Naturalistic planting, grasses usually feature heavily. This talk will cover the advantages of using grasses, how they are incorporated in garden design, which grass in which location, their care and maintenance, companion planting and a list of favourites, which will be provided as a handout.
Roger and Jenny Lloyd have developed a 3 acre garden in Monmouthshire with an ever-expanding range of plants. Featured are almost 40 different grasses. Another one of Roger’s developing obsessions, which he will share with us!
