Eldwick & Gilstead Horticultural Society had to move fast when its speaker for tomorrow’s meeting had to cancel at short notice.

Nigel Harrison, of Askham Bryan College, who was booked to tell the audience ‘What happens behind the scenes at Chelsea’, was suddenly summoned to help out an exhibitor at the London flower show.

His place has been taken by Martin Howe, of Wykeham Mature Plants near Scarborough. Mr Howe’s subject will be ‘Big Is Always Beautiful: Plants For Problem Places’. The meeting at Eldwick Memorial Hall starts at 7.30pm and all are welcome.
