BORDERING ON INSANITY – creating an all-year-round border

If you have not heard a talk by Timothy Walker before, do not miss this opportunity. He is a very good speaker, has a wide knowledge of horticulture and a fund of great stories. After becoming director of Oxford Botanic Garden he then moved on to become lecturer in Plant Sciences at Somerville College, Oxford.

This talk looks exclusively at the herbaceous border in my Wife’s previous garden. The border was created over 25-years and the talk covers the principles and practicalities that were adopted in an attempt to create a border that is interesting all-year-round. It concludes with a look at a collection of must-have plants for such a border, and associations in which they may be grown.

South East Region

The South East Region covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and Sussex. It is the largest u3a Region and includes approximately 180 u3as.

The SE Region Forum runs Summer Schools each year in Chichester.

If you sign up for a National newsletter you will be asked which region your u3a belongs to.
