... We are in the process of bringing our local 'Horticultural Society' into the twenty first century and are looking for ideas for activities that might attract the younger inhabitants of our village. Without being rude, please, does anyone have any brilliant brain waves that might help us out? Get someone hunky like Diarmud or that other chap, name escapes, me, blond, oh yes, Sven, to give talks on various topics. They'd bring me a running! |

How about an exchange of labour - The oldies go round to the newbies and give advice and demonstrate techniques. The newbies in return help the oldies with some digging/pruning or other 'heavy tasks' Try to get some younger speakers - someone who does not look or sound like Percy Thrower :~)) Maybe a talk on modern garden design ? Do you have immigrants in your vicinity ? They can be VERY keen gardeners ! Jenny |

Without being rude, please, does anyone have any brilliant brain waves that might help us out? No non-brilliant need apply? :-) For adults, herbs seem to generate a lot of interest. Cooking, medicinal (watch it!) properties, cosmetic uses, etc. A program on easily-grown veg (lettuce, peas, beans, radishes) might be appealing, especially considering the cost in stores. Children (and their parents) may be attracted to things like bean teepees and sunflower houses. See: http://tinyurl.com/2e7pk There are many veg and flowers that sprout reliably and return nearly instant gratification for children. Also 'weird' veg, like yard-long beans and strange squash and gourds. |

"Jane wrote in message Thanks, everyone, for the replies. Gives us a couple of new ideas to try out :)) Wish us luck? Oh I do, we have tried and tried to get some of the youth involved in our new park that is to be built soon but they just never turn up to any meetings. The Park committee are going to gatecrash the youth club in a couple of weeks just to try to get some input from them, it's seems it's the only way. -- Regards Bob Use a useful Screen Saver... http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and find intelligent life amongst the stars 371 data units completed. |

On the whole, youngsters don't feel at home in meetings. You need to go to them .. besides, it's a good way to demonstrate your good faith and real intention to take their ideas on board. And remember, they are subject to more outside constraints like we are - we never have to miss a meeting because our mother has demanded we tidy our bedroom ;-) -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
