ANNUAL PLANT SALE with Cream Teas
Sunday 11th May 2025
Lavant Memorial Hall
This year’s Plant Sale was held on a perfect sunny Sunday afternoon.
The Memorial Hall was full of colourful annuals and perennials from East Ashling Nurseries.
Outside, the marquee on the Village Green, overflowed with plants generously donated by members, grown in greenhouses, on windowsills and in their gardens.
The Cream Teas were delightful as ever, and very popular.
Once again a very successful and enjoyable event.
LAVANT CHRISTMAS MARKET
Saturday, 23rd November 2024
This year the Lavant Christmas Market was a bigger event with more stalls and a wider range of activities, including some for children.
The Lavant Horticultural Society stand added its usual splash of colour, seling seasonal plants sourced from East Ashling Nursery.
WILLOW STAR and WREATH WORKSHOP
Tuesday 19th November 2024
Once again Louise kept us busy learning new skills with different types and colours of willow. Good fun was had by all as we converted sticks of willow into stars and wreaths. Simple but effective and some concentration was required to get the ends all facing the back and the binding in place.
Tea and chocolate biscuits helped keep the energy levels going!
We all came home with at least one of each item plus a string of lights that Louise kindly and unexpectedly supplied for us all. Another good fun event.
WILLOW PLANT SUPPORT WORKSHOP
Monday 20th May 2024
These workshops were very well attended and members learnt the art of weaving Willow sticks into either a Peony Crown or an Obelisk.
Louise Arthur, our tutor, is a member of Basketmakers’ Association, Heritage Craft Association, National Coppice Federation, Hampshire Coppice Group. She combines contemporary design and heritage skills with her passion for the environment.
A certain amount of concentration was required to ensure the weaving was consistent and by the end of the session our fingers certainly knew they had had a workout. Getting a 6′ obelisk into the car was entertaining!
A successful day and one which we hope will be repeated again some time in the future.
