To be held at Baslow Village Hall, Nether End, Baslow, Derbyshire DE45 1SR

We will have two excellent speakers following the AGM. Dr Julian Sutton will give a talk entitled ‘Exhaling Rainbows: Peonies, Sex & Science’ and Dr John Grimshaw’s talk is entitled ‘Peonies I have known’.

Baslow Village Hall is adjacent to Chatsworth Estate and it is possible to walk to the gardens or make the short drive in order to visit the gardens. There are beautiful peonies to be seen at Chatsworth: species, herbaceous and tree peonies. Normally we would include entrance to gardens in our pricing for the day but there is no group discount available on weekends in June. We are also aware that some people may wish to visit the house as well as the gardens so the committee has decided to leave this part of the day to attendees’ own choice.

Please bring your own lunch or there are places in Baslow village or at Chatsworth itself where you can eat.

£16.00 for HPS Peony Group members, £18.00 for HPS members and £20.00 for non-HPS members. The booking form is included with the HPS Peony Group Autumn newsletter and is also available on the HPS website www.hardy-plant.org/meet-us-at/specialist-groups/peony

Doors open at 9.30 am, with the AGM starting at 10.00 am. We will be swift with the AGM so the first talk can start by 10.30am. If you have any questions email Caroline at [email protected] or ring 01566 785706
