As Christmas approaches my club has been looking back on the years’ achievements. We’ve had our best year yet at the Chelsea Flower Show, winning two Silver Gilt medals, a first for us. We have taken part in the RHS Seeds in Space programme with Major Tim Peake and harvested some great fruit from our orchard. Our final task of the year was one myself and Holtspur School were especially proud of, and the Gardening Club were my Guinea pigs to see if it could be done. Each and every child in the school created a handmade poppy for Armistice day. In a special assembly led by our vicar Narinder, and attended by Dick Smith, Beaconsfield’s Town Crier and the British Legion Chairman, alongside the Rev’d Dr Jeremy Brooks, we laid them in the garden by our greenhouse. In total, over 200 poppies. We think they have created a very poignant display to remember all our service men and women. We hope you agree. Finally, I would like to wish all our readers a very Happy Christmas and thank you for supporting us. A special thank you as always goes to Mr & Mrs Chapman and the residents of Kiln Court, and to all the staff at Beaconsfield Garden Centre who without their support we couldn’t achieve so much.
