WHAS NEWS: May 2026
A reminder that we will once more be holding our annual May Plant Sale this year, running for every Sunday in May at the Trading Hut, from 10am till 1pm. Do come along for what we hope will be a good variety of plants at very reasonable prices, and if you have any spare seedlings, cuttings or divisions, all donations will be gratefully accepted at the Hut.

Many thanks to County Moth Recorder David Brown for a most interesting and entertaining April talk on Moths and their Caterpillars which was very much enjoyed by our members. The launch of David's new book The Macro-moths of Warwickshire, a 2026 Review will take place at the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel in Charlecote at 7pm on Monday 18th May. Anyone wishing to attend will be most welcome.

Thanks to one of our members, we have secured a 10% discount at Avondale Nursery and Library Garden in Baginton, CV8 3AG. (Located behind Russell's Nursery). I’m sure you will agree that this is a welcome addition to our range of perks. The opening times vary throughout the year so check the website http://www.avondalenursery.co.uk before you visit.
