THE HARDY PLANT SOCIETY (West Midlands) 2017 PROGRAMME
2017 JANUARY 14th
IN HOUSE
The first meeting of the New Year, which is the 60th Anniversary of Hardy Plants. We’d like to talk
about ways in which we can celebrate our Birthday. Please remember to bring your ‘Special Plants’
for us to enjoy. Maybe, you will tell us the history / story of your plant and why it is special to you.
On this note, may I wish you all Good Health and Productive Gardening in 2017.
