Allotment Speaker

Can anyone come up with ideas for a speaker at our annual plot holders meeting


last year i invited someone to talk about composting - i took him round the site, outlined the audience group etc etc - he seemed quite enthusiastic - he spent the time talking about himself and his career path!!! i could have thumped him!!!

so, anyone got any ideas?

Don't think I could tell you anything you don't already know about allotments and such, but I do give a talk called "Behind the Scenes at Chelsea" to garden societies.

Yes, I do talk about myself! But then I've built three gardens there, so I guess I can get away with it.

Not sure where you are - I'm down on the coast between Rye and Hastings if it's any help.

I just thought of something funny (with reference to Hyde Park):
you could have "the speakers' corner" in "gardeners corner"...

PS I will think of something and PMyou. Where are you based?

 

What about the 'no dig' man?

 

It would help if people knew where you are Loopy.

 

It depends on whether you want a celebrity or not Loopy Lou. I think Christine Walkden comes at a reasonable fee.

 

thanks all


I am in a villager just south of swindon, we couldnt afford a celebrity though!

The plot holders range from totally inexperienced 19 year old to a ninety year plus utter expert!

Thanks for replying

Could you not make contact with gardening clubs in your surrounding area, to see if they can help.
