Sunday 25th March 2007 : 11am - 1pm

Never mind what the elements are up to outside: within Lenham's lovely new community centre it will be warm and spring-like, and the invited nurseries will have some truly tempting specimens on offer to get the plant-buying season off to a stylish start. The Plant Sale will be followed by one of HPS Kent Group's regular lectures: Dr I Keith Ferguson, until recently head of the pollen unit at Kew, will be initiatin us into the fascinating world of pollen. Members of the public are welcome to stay on for the lecture for a small entrance fee, and soup and roll lunches and beverges will be available, at modest cost, in the break.
