Syston Bowlers Visit Rowena (Wyvale) Leicester Garden Centre

The Gardening Group of the Syston Bowling Club enjoyed a recent visit to the Rowena Leicester (Wyevale) Garden Centre in Mountsorrel. Specialist staff members, Helen Bell and Hillary Alexander, gave an informative presentation on the sourcing, delivery and on-site care of plants, stocked by the Centre, for both outdoor containers and indoors to add colour and interest to home and garden during the Winter months. They gave a demonstration on how plants can best be planted and displayed and gave useful tips on after-care.
Group co-ordinator, George Dodge, thanked the ladies for their co-operation, help and advice and readily accepted an invitation from the Centre for a return visit in the Spring when the emphasis would be laid on making the best of the wide range of plants available through the Centre to ensure a first class display throughout the rest of the year.
Club Chairman, Colin Grimes, says: “The Gardening Group visit is just one of a range of non-bowling, close season, social activities offered to members of the Club, their friends and families. We hold a regular monthly social event in the clubhouse and weekly indoor bowling sessions, on an informal basis, on Mondays at the Melton Indoor Club while various special interest group, such as the Gardening Group, arrange regular meetings, visits and other gatherings. We warmly welcome non-members to join us.”
