Our speaker tonight is Margaret Nimmo Smith.

Margaret has been a keen amateur gardener all her adult life and a founder member of the local NCCPG (now Plant Heritage) and HPS groups. In the past she has run the Spore Exchange for the British Pteridological Society and worked for 10 years at Monksilver Nursery propagating ferns.  More recently she has retired from running the U3AC Garden Group.  

Fashions in the Garden could be translated into fashions in garden plants or my garden journey with plants.  Margaret will talk about her early gardening influences, how plant buying has changed and how fashion in plants and style of planting has developed over the last 50 years. Take a trip down memory lane and back into the future!
