Talk on London gardens

The Leigh & District Cottage Garden Society had a talk in Leigh Village Hall by Colin Jones on Gardens of London, describing with glorious illustrations, the oldest gardens, the newest ones, some of the public gardens and the key research gardens such as the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the Chelsea Physic Garden.

He had many delightful anecdotes, one being the fact that one person is responsible for producing the 12,000 geraniums for Buckingham Palace of exactly the right red to match the guards at the Palace.
 

Colin Jones spent time with members of the Garden Society during a break for refreshments.
