Next year we are aiming to have a stall at the annual Amersham
carnival for the gardening Club.
We are going to have to encourage members to grow plants that will be
hopefully in flower or at least attractive to buyers at that time.
Apart from Fuchsia, impatiens, and geraniums etc. is there anything
else that anyone can recommend we suggest the members grow?

If it's about now, how about Roses, Silene maritima, Lonicerae both
shrubby and climbing, Weigela, Abutilon, Kolkwitzia, Philadelphus,
Ferns, Hypericum, Cephalaria, cardoons, Cannas, Iris, Inulas, Nemesias,
Lotus maculatus, Lotus berthelottii......



Some are okay Sacha thank you but I can't see us growing Kolkwitzia
cuttings etc. into big enough plants to sell by this time next year!
