A Year at Spring Cottage

The Freshford and District Horticultural Society presents:

A Talk by Val Bourne

Wednesday, 2nd April 2025, 7.30pm
Freshford Village Memorial Hall

We are delighted to welcome Val Bourne, who is Vice President of the Hardy Plant Society. She is also an award-winning organic gardener and self-confessed plantaholic, writer, author of ‘The Natural Gardener’ and other books, lecturer and is a long standing gardening celebrity. She gardens on the wind-swept high Cotswolds at Spring Cottage, above Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire. It is not an easy place to cultivate but there’s something to admire throughout the year. Her third of an acre garden is managed without using chemicals - something Val has always believed in. Come and follow a year in Val’s garden, which is an eco-friendly space packed with great plants.

“She is one of our most successful communicators in sharing and spreading the excitement and joy of plants and gardening.” Roy Lancaster, HPS President.

Entry by ticket only: Members free. Visitors £5.00 at the door. Everyone welcome

Limpley Creative Film Night

Perfect Days

by Wim Wenders (2023)

Wed 9th April
Limpley Stoke Village Hall
Doors open 7 for 7.30.

The final film of the season is a life affirming, zen-like meditation on the value of simplicity. Set against the noise of the mega city of Tokyo, the story centres around an unlikely hero - a toilet cleaner.

As we get drawn into the janitor's life, Wenders leads us by the hand to find nature, beauty and meaning in the mundane.
