Village Voice 76
Number 76 June 2012 Lace makers rise to the challenge - page 65 1 2 Editor’s Notes I was set to wondering when I saw the window display at the post office the other day, just how you would get the average séance holder into the “medium posting box”? If, like me, you enjoy a good gardening programme on television but cannot stand Monty Don there is a solution to the problem if you have satellite equipment. At 7.30 on Thursdays on BBC2 Scotland you can enjoy Beechgrove Garden. This little gem just gets on with good, useful information.. You heard it here folks unless you get the Radio Times and looked at the letters page of the issue for the 5th May. Great minds etc. The Parish council is now in it’s new home - 4 Post Office Road. Given the lack of imagination shown in the naming of other village streets - Bank Rd, Hunstanton Rd, Lynn Rd - to name but a few, perhaps we should look to rename it Parish Council Road ….hmmm perhaps not. There are still loads of pigeons around the village. There were at least 20 of the blighters fossiking around by the village sign the other day. Presumably the moles had brought something tasty to the surface though it’s hard to think what. Our cat tries his best. He is averaging 4 a week at the moment but the mystery is how he gets them and his portly self, through the cat flap. Fond though I am of seared pigeon breast, somehow his catch is less than inviting. -

The Plant Pyramids and Floral Marquee at BBC Gardeners' World
May 2019 A modern wonder of the gardeners’ world The Plant Pyramids at BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2019 The mysterious world of the plant breeder will be plunged into the limelight at BBC Gardeners’ World Live (13 – 16 June at Birmingham’s NEC) as the breeders of up to 80 new plant varieties join forces, with gardening writer and broadcaster Peter Seabrook at the helm, to create a spectacular Plant Pyramid display in the Floral Marquee. Plant breeders are more usually found behind the scenes, creating new plants with irresistible features such as colour, longevity, scent, hardiness, drought tolerance or compactness – designing hybrids equipped for modern gardeners, modern gardens and modern climates. With an air of secrecy and a keen sense of competition, it’s a rare occurrence for such a diverse range of breeders to collaborate in a single display. The spectacle takes the form of a monumental pyramid with four satellite pyramids – covered in upwards of 4,000 plants including new varieties of Garvinea the garden Gerbera, Eating Apple, Sunflower, Pelargonium, Nemesia, Rose, Foxglove, Catnip, Alstroemeria, Echinacea and many, many more. Highlights of the Plant Pyramid include: • Farplants’ Nemesia ‘Lady Penelope’, one of the most anticipated launches, with a delicious fragrance and seemingly never-ending summer blooms • Sakata’s Petchoa ‘BeautiCal’, considered one of the hottestintroductions , with prolific, long lasting flowers • Begonia ‘Sweet Spice Bounty’, one of the most floriferous scented begonias. Until 2021, Breeders Kerley & Co will donate 50% of Royalty income from sales of the plant to the David Colegrave Foundation, supporting training in horticulture. Peter Seabrook said “This is the biggest floral display that I have ever planned and helped to stage. -
