Don't miss our Celebrity lecture by Anna Pavord, 20 February 2012 at Birkacre Garden Centre, Chorley, ' Bulbs for all seasons' Poster	Gold Success at Southport Flower Show 2011 Congratulations to Glenda and the HPS NW team on being awarded a Gold Medal, the Sefton Chamber of Commerce Trophy for the best display of hardy plants in the show, and the David Knowles Trophy for the best societies' display in the Societies' Marquee. The design by Moe Sawyer was based on an imaginative interpretation of the 2011 'Vintage' show theme and resulted in a spectacular display of hardy herbaceous perennials. Special thanks to all members who helped with the display, including everybody who provided plants and carried out vital work behind the scenes.

Chairman's Welcome A warm welcome to the North West Group of the Hardy Plant Society. We are a vibrant and friendly community, enthusiastic about gardening with hardy herbaceous plants. Members of our Group are attracted mainly from Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Furness in Cumbria. See HPS local groups. We have a series of talks and garden visits throughout the year, to which members, prospective members and visitors - of all ages and levels of experience - are always welcome. This year we have an outstanding list of speakers. We meet starting at 7:15 for 7:45pm at Samlesbury War Memorial Hall, PR5 0UY, (near the Swallow Hotel on the A59, from the M6 junction 31 towards Clitheroe). See our programme, map and directions. Good plants and other items are usually on sale, and there are some superb raffle prizes to be won. Why not come along and find out for yourself? Dorothy Richards Chairman
