Boldon - Down Your Way

Pam Alexander, area secretary of NAFAS delighted Cleadon Floral Arrangement Society last week with her demonstration entitled Down the Garden Path. Not only were members captivated by her floral interpretation and use of materials, some of which came from her own garden in Morpeth, but also by her very entertaining and informative chatter about her own gardening experiences and her many demonstrations around the country. The club meets every third Tuesday of the month in All Saint's Church Hall in Cleadon at 7.30pm.
