AGM & TALK: ‘Gardening for the Future – a look at how we as gardeners need to adapt to face a changing climate’ Jack Willgoss

The Barbour Institute - Billiard Room High Street, Tattenhall

EARLIER START THAN USUAL TO ACCOMADATE THE AGM - starts at 7.30pm Tonight we will be holding our 'as short as we can make it AGM' followed by the talk for the night.   In a change to our advertised schedule....we have moved our talk planned for February to November and swapped Laura Willgoss for her husband, Jack.   Discount offer   On top of what sounds like an interesting talk, and one very relevant for our times, Wildegoose Nursery is offering TGS members a special discount of 10% off orders placed online, valid until the 19th November.  You just need to type in ‘Tattenhall’ into the coupon code box at checkout. On top of that, you can also save yourselves £9.50 postage if you can collect the order on the 12th November at the talk; all you have to do is to tick 'local pick' up on the delivery choices at checkout.      Looking at their online catalogue, some items are showing out of stock, but Jack if you want something that's sold out, email them direct and he'll have a look around to see if he can find some of whatever it is.  You can't say better than that!  The email address is office@wildegoosenursery.co.uk - better make it clear you're from TGS and not leave it till the last minute to give them a fighting chance.
