Monday Club

10 members of the Monday Club and 2 guests spent a lovely, sunny morning in Port William yesterday, visiting David & Anne Hirst's garden. 


David is a very keen gardener and also grows his own vegetables.  The garden is full of wild and wonderful flowers, plants, fruit trees, herbs...... the list goes on!  It even has its own "Hedgehog Hotel"!  David said "Now 15 years old, it has been a challenge, combating the salt winds (and gales) which come straight of the Irish Sea.  A great deal of thought and trial and error has produced a garden that contains "tough as old boots" plants with more tender ones given protection."


Anne was kind enough to provide tea and coffee for everyone and BHC staff prepared sandwiches and fruit salad to finish off the visit.


David and Anne were presented with a little thank you gift and everyone left with a smile and lots of tips and ideas for their own garden.

Next session will take place on Monday 3rd July 2017 with a "Healthy Cooking" workshop by Dave Groves (Building Healthy Communities) and "Chair-based Exercise" with Pamela Paterson
