Join Bob from the Bramhall Alpine Garden Society, as he takes you through an introduction to the wonders of Alpines.

This informative talk will discuss what we might consider to be an alpine plant, how they grow in the wild and how we can use them in our own gardens.

More Information (Cheshire's Silk 106.9 is not responsible for external websites)

Alpines come in many forms and different types of plants will be illustrated. They lend themselves to growing in small spaces, including troughs and container so different types of trough and ways of making troughs and displaying plants in them will be covered.

Through illustrative photographs and visuals, Bob will also explore some of his some favourite woodland plants in addition to an introduction to alpines.
