LOWTON WI .At our March meeting we had a really interesting talk from George Pilkington which was titled “Wildlide Gardens” George began by telling us a little about himself, he has had a varied working life from being in the Marines, joining the Police force then changing careers at 45 years of age to complete a masters degree and to go on to teaching. George is an ecologist, environmental educationist, researcher and inventor, he has also written several books.

George’s talk prompted a lot of questions and some good tips for our members on how to encourage various species into our gardens.

Next month is a totally different subject, we will be welcoming Lisa Moore, talking and demonstrating the art of needle felting If any ladies are looking for a new interest why not give the WI a try, for further information and to arrange a visit Phone: Val Barrow on 07419335330.

Lowton WI meet at 7.15 pm on the first Thursday of the month at Lowton Social Club Newton Rd, Lowton.
