To coincide with the archaeological display at The Castle Bude they are running a Fabulous Finds session next Wednesday, 15th February between 1.30 and 4.30.
Anna Tyacke from the Royal Cornwall Museum will be here ready and willing to help people identify anything they've found in gardens, on beaches or in fields. [No antiques though.]

Gardening Group Wed. 1st Feb. 2012

Twenty of our members arrived at RHS Garden Rosemoor, near Torrington, on a very chilly day. Most of us treated ourselves to lunch in the cosy restaurant before going out into beautiful continuous sunshine which really enhanced the colours around this very varied garden.
The special bonus was the outdoor exhibition of many sculptures* placed all round the garden. There were so many different styles and materials used including wood, willow, stone and metals various. All labelled with title, artist’s name & price!!
The sun was still shining when we finished our visit back in the restaurant for a cup of tea. Some of us couldn’t resist the gift shop and plant sales!

Marion Hall.

*Pictures of these sculptures have been sent in by Val Kerr and can be seen on our Photos Page.
