Seagate - A Growing Story with Irises!
a talk by Chris Davey
Thursday 30 January 2025
Chris is proprietor of Seagate Nurseries, Lincolnshire. As you might guess from their web address, irises.co.uk, the nursery specialises in irises, though they are passionate about growing a range of perennials, particularly unusual varieties that aren't often available. The heart of the nursery is nonetheless its collection of bearded iris, about which Chris is very knowledgeable, and he's an entertaining speaker to boot.
Chris will be bringing a selection of plants for sale.
Mileham Village Hall at 7:30pm. £4 per person on the door.
