Five of use
met up in the car park at Biddulph Grange Garden today. The task was to set
out the dahlia beds for planting in preparation for the renowned summer
display. First we had to measure out the spacing along the three rows per bed
according to the plan provided then drive in stakes and dig holes for the
plants.

The weather in the morning was great although because the site is
surrounded by dense hedging it did get a bit warm. Lunch was taken on the lawn next to the
ornamental pond and the carrot cake provided was enjoyed by everyone,
especially the moor hen chick who came to visit and the massive koy carp
cruising the pond.
Completed Dahlia bed.
We finished work about 3 o’clock had a free ice cream provided by Paul the
manager then spent about an hour exploring the gardens, finely we did a bit of
fish tickling. In total we completed 8 of the dahlia beds much to the surprise
and delight of Paul.

Thank you
