OAPs offered gardening tips


ELDERLY residents can learn how to make the most of their garden thanks to a specially arranged fair.

The showcase, at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Ampfield, has been organised by Hampshire County Council’s Older People’s Well-Being Team.

It takes place on Wednesday September 8 from 11am-3pm.

Included in the day will be information about services related to gardening, a tour of the gardens and a chance to win tickets to a Last Night of the Proms event.

A minibus shuttle service will operate between Romsey and the gardens at a cost of 50p each way – to book call 01794 519495.

I need some tips about gardening but I'm not an OAP. My garden is green which is okay, but what happened to all of the red, white, yellow and blue things that I planted in February, they either died or stayed green. For example, 2 years ago I had 127 daffodils in my garden, this year I had 5 how does that work??
