Andrew Mikolajski has written many books on gardening (as for the New Plant Library and the R H.S), and so he came to lecture at the WEA with the benefit of a very knowledgeable background.
Members particularly enjoyed his sessions on pruning ("when to prune" will always bring up thoughts of his strictures), the do's and don'ts of garden design (from now on who will ever put white flowers or glazed pots in the garden without thinking of him?), and some of us were fascinated to learn about botanical names.
We are grateful for the enthusiasm that Andrew brought to the course, and his influence will, we are sure, be felt in our gardening from now on.
