Wimborne Gardening Club has had a busy May with a series of successful events.
At the club’s May meeting, more than 50 members enjoyed a presentation by David Bassil, who demonstrated how to plant hanging baskets.
Two of these baskets were later raffled, raising more than £70 for club funds.
The club’s planning group also set up a publicity table at the Allendale Community Centre open day on May 17.
